<p>Mullen the wombat was received by Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary’s Donna Stepan early in May, covered in tick bites and orphaned after his mother was hit by a car. Stepan was unsure whether Mullen <a class="link" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://stryfl.com/2va9">would survive</a> the traumatic experience, but it seems he is thriving in her dedicated care.</p><p>“All ticks gone, drinking beautifully and settled which makes us humans happy,” she told Storyful.</p><br /><p>This video shows Mullen suckling happily on his bottle of formula, while swaddled in a blanket.
