I've never met a kangaroo in 20 years of looking after them that likes having a bath.
She's going to struggle and she's going to kick up a sting but it is for her welfare.
If we don't stop her scratching that can lead to stress
and the stress of constantly scratching means you're not sleeping
and if you're not sleeping hope can get sick.
Just drying off with a towel is not really enough.
I've really got to make sure she is 100% dry before she goes back into her little pillowcase
so blow drying like this again she doesn't like it there's something totally alien to her
but it's a way of really getting through to you know the leather underneath her hair
getting to her pelt basically so all of her becomes dry.
Last week you're 1.38 kilos and today 1.613 beautiful well done.
