Mr Zabinskas said this season had been the toughest to date and that his house, which doubles as a shelter, was currently at full capacity.

With all wildlife rehabilitation self-funded and facilitated by volunteers, it can be a challenging task with call outs around the clock. A small grants scheme is provided by the government for infrastructure once a year, but the pair say it would be great to have ongoing state funding.

They estimate they spend more than $25,000 a year on supplies and medical bills.

The couple are currently caring for kangaroos from all over Victoria, from as far as Warrandyte, Rowville and Anglesea.

Mr Zabinskas said they use a lot of woollen blankets, which they turn into pouches and use for rescuing.

"As far as medical equipment goes, it is difficult to ask for donations as we are very specific depending on the types of wounds we are treating. It is better to ask for people to donate money so we can buy the right equipment," he said.

"We treat very large kangaroos and depending on the type of bandage we use, we can get three or four days out of them. Using the best quality bandages has an advantage as it helps the animals to heal quicker, gets them home faster and is less work for us."

The couple work very closely with nearby Hepburn Wildlife Shelter.

"We are putting the call out for us and for Hepburn Wildlife Shelter," Ms Round said. "Hepburn does a lot more animals than us and are also in need of supplies like blankets."

The shelter releases animals from the region in a soft release, which means animals are able to graze freely outside but often return for meals.

"The idea of our property is that we allow them to go back into the wild at the pace they need to as opposed to dumping them back into the wild and hoping they do alright," Mr Zabinskas said.

The couple juggle their wildlife shelter with their own jobs. When he's not looking after kangaroos, or darting animals for rehabilitation, Mr Zabinskas spends his time catching snakes.

"I'm pretty much the main snake catcher for this district, from Clunes all the way down to Melbourne."

"We look after sick and injured reptiles and snakes too," he said.
