People reports that kangaroos and wallabies injured and orphaned due to brushfires are in need of pouch liners to mimic a mother's warm pouch.
After a recent public request for koala mittens, the International Fund for Animal Welfare was overwhelmed by the amount of donations received. It has launched Project Pouch hoping for the same response.
A spokeswoman for the group said that caregivers can go through six pouch liners a day for each animal.
Nine of the animals are recovering at the Adelaide Zoo.
