Wombaroo has developed products specifically for zoos and captive breeding programs to support wildlife conservation projects worldwide.

To make 1 liter of milk: mix 250g of powder to 800mL of warm water. Add about half of the water first and mix to a paste. Then combine the remaining water and mix thoroughly. 

Preboil water to ensure it is sterilized, allow it to cool to lukewarm. If the water is too hot, it will cause the milk to curdle - if it is too cold, then it will be difficult to fully disperse the powder and allow it to reconstitute as a liquid. 

Milk can be stored in the fridge for a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.

Warm milk to about 86°F (30°C).  Deer milk is high in energy which allows for low feed volumes and longer intervals between feeds, mimicking the natural care of mother-reared fawns. 

Feed 4 times a day for the first week, 3 times a day in week two, gradually reducing to 2 feeds per day. To avoid dehydration during hot weather, offer drinks of water between feedings - always have clean drinking water available.
