Rosie, Amy and little Julia are living the sweet life in Lancefield.
The three wombat joey orphans spend their days sipping bottles, sleeping in pouches and, with age, getting into trouble.
“Rosie is naughty and she runs around and gets into mischief,” said Wild About Wildlife shelter manager Lisa Milligan.
“When we feed the pigs she trots out with us.
“They are all pretty full-on to look after.”
But life wasn’t always so kind to these young Aussie icons.
While they’re referred to as sisters, they’re not linked by blood but by a mutual experience of being rescued from the side of the road after their mums were hit by cars.
“They became close because they have been brought up together,” Ms Milligan explained, adding they were lucky to be saved as many were not.
“Don’t forget, when you hit an animal they might have a baby,” she said.
“The mum might be dead but she could be carrying ­babies so you have to check or call an organisation to come and check.”
Rosie, Amy and Julia will hang around Lancefield for at least a year longer and then head off into the wild.
“They stay with us until they are off bottles and eating well,” Ms Milligan said.
“But sometimes they leave us, they just pack their bags and go.”
