Nine kangaroo joeys injured in the Adelaide Hills bushfires are being cared for by the Adelaide Zoo Animal Health Centre.

The bushfire survivors started arriving at the zoo last Thursday from the South Australian Veterinarian Emergency Management which has been coordinating the care and distribution of animals affected by the bushfires.

Countless stock and wildlife were injured and killed in the fire, which started on January 2 and burnt through 12,500 hectares of land.

The Country Fire Service has since brought the fire under control.

Adelaide Zoo Veterinarian Dr David McLelland said it was all hands on deck to care for the Western grey kangaroo joeys.

"The joeys in our care require more intensive treatment," Dr McLelland said.

"In order to care for our nine little visitors, on top of our normal zoo cases, we put a call out to zoo staff and volunteers to lend a helping hand."

The cases the zoo are dealing with require around the clock care treating sores and blisters, removing dead skin and cleaning and dressing burns to feet, tails, claws and ears to avoid infection.

"We're happy with their progress to date; the joeys have settled in well and are enjoying lots of treats like milk and vegetables on top of their normal diet of grass, while staff are enjoying lots of cuddles," Dr McLelland said.

Zoo veterinarians were hopeful the joeys would be released back to the wild after the being rehabilitated.

Adelaide Zoo Animal Health Centre cares for about 250 wildlife cases each year that are brought in by wildlife organisations, government agencies and the public.
