A pair of wallabies in Lincolnshire have been reunited, after escaping from their enclosure within weeks of each other.

In early January, Ant escaped from Tiny Steps Petting Farm, near Bourne, before being captured three weeks later.

A week after Ant returned home, Dec went missing, and spent two weeks on the run... or hop.

However, after a tip-off from a neighbour, and a food station and humane trap being set up, Dec has been returned home!

Posting alongside a video on social media, the owners of the farm said: 'Was waiting outside on Saturday evening Gavin our fantastic neighbour kept us informed and we set up food station and trap. Following morning Dec was waiting.

'Dec and Ant have had time being close together before they Decided they wanted to be together and both seem very content after both their separate walkabouts.

'We at Tiny Steps are so relieved and cannot thank everyone enough for their kind words and help.'
