ADOPTION UPDATE - EKKO

Sadly, we have to report that Ekko and Violet have gone their separate ways, and thankfully so... It's quoll breeding season! :P

Violet will hopefully be breeding this year, while Ekko is sitting this one out and letting his sister carry on the family genes.

Instead, Ekko has been living the bacheror life with his brother Titan and friend Pruit and has been making appearances on the Dessert with the Devil.

🖤Today is National Threatened Species Day. On this day in 1936, the last know Thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) passed away. Today, we remember that loss to make sure other species do not face the same fate.

Sadly, when we think of endangered wildlife, the biggest names usually grab the spotlight. But right under our noses, many lesser-known species are quietly slipping away, including some of the Thylacine's closest living relatives.

Take the Eastern quoll. While the Tasmanian devil gets a lot of global attention, this beautifully spotted carnivorous marsupial is already extinct on the Australian mainland. Tasmania is its very last stronghold, yet its numbers here continue to drop due to feral predators, habitat loss, climate change and road strikes.

Other vulnerable locals like the Spotted-Tailed quoll also fly under the radar, facing a silent battle to survive in our changing forests.

Devils@Cradle is proud to be a part of vital, nation-wide conservation projects like the Tasmanian Quoll Conservation Program and the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program, working to protect these unique native carnivores.

We can't do it alone...
🐾Help us shine a light on these amazing Aussie battlers. Learn about them and share their stories and help us protect them
🐾Drive with care: Slow down on the roads at night when these nocturnal hunters are active.
🐾Support your local sanctuaries: Back the breeding and research programs keeping them alive.

Every species plays a vital role in our ecosystem. We lost the Thylacine, let's not lose our last living links to them as well.

🎉 Happy Father’s Day to all the legendary dads out there!

We love celebrating our Tasmanian devil dads. They are fiercely protective, incredibly strong, and always full of energy—just like our human dads! Their feeding habits are suspiciously similar too, often enjoying a good fight over the last steak followed by a nice, long, food-induced nap.

Looking for the ultimate way to celebrate? Skip the socks and bring Dad to Devils@Cradle for an unforgettable, wild afternoon out!

Come and see these iconic creatures up close and watch them at their most active during our After Dark Feeding Tour. Maybe dad will learn a few tricks for the next backyard barbeque.

⚠️ Booking is essential as spaces for this tour fill up fast!

Forgot all about Father's Day? Not a problem. We also have online Gift Cards for those looking for last minute gifts!

RETURNING SPONSOR! - NICK & ROSE FRAMPTON

Devils@Cradle would love to thank Nick and Rose Frampton for sponsoring two year old Spotted-tailed quoll, Chip.

Nick and Rose not only volunteer with us, but Chip will be the 4th animal Nick and Rose have sponsored this year! They have also sponsored Tasmanian devil Serendipity and Eastern quolls Rosemary and Waylon, so Chip rounds out their collection nicely.

Thank you again, Nick and Rose, for your generous contribution!

This is how we feel when the Wattle starts blooming!🌞

Happy National Wattle Day! On September 1st, we celebrate our national floral emblem, the resilient golden wattle (Acacia pycnantha). Its brilliant gold blossoms symbolise the strength, unity, and bright spirit of Australia.

Wattle blooms also mark the start of spring, which for us here at Cradle Mountain, really just means there's only three more months left of winter 🤣🤣

There are over 1070 species of Wattles and at least 98% of these species are endemic to Australia. Most are found in dry, arid, tropical or sub-tropical regions, but Tasmania is home to one of only two species found in alpine regions, the Variable Sallow Wattle or Narrow-leaved Wattle (Acacia mucronata), which can be found to heights of up to 1000m above sea level.

Wattles play a significant role in Australia's ecosystems, often providing shelter and food to insects, birds and mammals such as possums. These animals are themselves important food sources for our endangered carnivores like the Spotted-tailed quoll (pictured).

Plus, wattles are bright, smell wonderful, and always makes you happy!

🐾MEET THE NEWEST ADDITIONS TO THE DEVILS@CRADLE FAMILY 🐾

We are absolutely thrilled to share some incredible conservation wins from this year's breeding season at Devils@Cradle! We can now confirm that we have at least 9 new Tasmanian devil joeys thriving across 5 amazing mums. And as breeding season continues for our quolls, recent pouch checks have confirmed we also have a few little Eastern quoll joeys coming through as well!

With wild populations facing ongoing threats, every single one of these healthy joeys represents a vital step forward for Tasmanian wildlife and a stronger insurance population for the future.

Our latest litters are growing fast, looking strong, and our incredible mothers are doing an amazing job nurturing the next generation. These little ones are a true testament to our dedicated conservation work and bring so much hope for the future of both species.

Best of all, some of these precious new joeys will be starting to make appearances on our Joey Encounters soon!

A massive thank you to our hardworking keepers and everyone who supports our sanctuary. Stay tuned for updates on our newest additions to the Cradle Mountain family!

❤🍣NEW SPONSOR - YAMASH*TA JAPANESE RESTAURANT HOBART🍣❤

Devils@Cradle would like to thank Stella at Japanese Restaurant for sponsoring and naming cute little Bubu, one of our one-year-old female Eastern Quolls.

Bubu was sponsored and named in loving memory of Stella's beloved cat, and in the hope that every animal receives the love and care they deserve.

Bubu has been selected as one of our breeding females this year, so hopefully there will be some little Bubu bubba's running around soon.

Thank you again, Yamash*ta Hobart, for your support of our sanctuary. We're sure Bubu will enjoy her extra sashimi!

ADOPTION UPDATE - ANAIAH

Even though she is now two years old, Anaiah has just entered here first breeding season and has been paired with our handsome superstar Daicos.

We have seen some positive signs out of the pair, but it will be a few weeks yet before we can check on their success.

Outside of the breeding season, Anaiah has spent her days entertaining guests on the After Dark Feeding Tour where she has started to gain more confidence.
