It turns out that wombats, just like cats, love to “make biscuits” when they nurse. However, as Little Ms. Claws at Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary demonstrates, wombat biscuits come pre-sliced.
That’s one sharp kid, Murray C.

Why does such a tiny baby need such long claws?!?!
Allein, I wonder too & hope they’re curled up when mom gives birth – ouch. So leetle & cute. Guess I’ve missed the meaning of “ making sliced buscuits.”
They are born so small i dont think claws matter! So tiny and sweet! (And i dont get “sliced biscuits” either, unless its a reference to bottle fed vs. breast??)
I’m thinking “sliced biscuits” because they are “making biscuits” but they have CLAWS!!!!! Kittens either retract their claws or they are so small they won’t slice anything when they are “making biscuits”/kneading their mama.
Yes, I expect claws are made of keratin – soft like a porcupine’s quills when they’re born, then they harden up.
O my gosh I gasped out loud seeing this tiny nakey baby. Biscuits and sucking sounds! I think I lactated!
They come out of mom and get in the pouch before they have real claws.
Faye, I did the same thing. So teensy, and the plinking eye capsules————ded.

Might need some claws to hold on inside of that pouch….(ouch ouch ouchy for mom, though)
Wombaterine? Wolverwombat?
Hahahahaha.
So sweet. And quite a set of whiskers for such a young lady!
Aren’t they great? I love the tiny cluster of hair that form the eyebrow.
And I think that, similar to other pouched mammalians, when they’re born they’re the size of a jellybean, so claws become less of an issue.
Looks like a little old man…bald head and unruly eyebrows.
Look at all those bubbles flowing back into the bottle. Makes me wonder if baby wombat needs to be burped after a bottle feeding.
Geez, that’s a Freddy Kruger biscuit kind of the day.
