Woman adopts wallaby rejected by mum
- 10 months ago
A wallaby saved from death row lives in a house - and loves naan bread and Cadbury's chocolate.
Hayley Bateman, 50, rescued six-year-old Willow who was brought into a vet surgery to be put to sleep.
Willow's mum rejected her and died hours later, and the joey was written off by zoo bosses.
But mum-of-four Hayley took a chance on her, and made a 'pouch' for Willow to sleep in.
Gran-of-five Hayley says Willow 'thinks she's her mum' and follows her around.
Willow gets half a chocolate digestive biscuit before bed.
She sleeps in a heated stable in the family's garden in Hornsea, East Yorks, but loves to cuddle on the sofa.
