How many kangaroo joeys can you personally feed at once? Volunteers at a wildlife rescue shelter in Victoria, Australia, have built a contraption that serves dinner for ten baby roos at once.

In a video uploaded to Facebook on Monday, Our Haven Wildlife Shelter co-founder Tony Matthews is seen with his own invention in action, filmed by co-founder Theresa Matthews (they're married).

Ten little kangaroos line up for their pre-bedtime feed, sucking on little mounted bottles with their names written on the side. There's Jade, Misty, Sophie, Robbie, Bluey One, Joe, Daisy, Malcolm, Buddy, and Dave, and whether the actual kangaroos are attached to their correct name, we don't even care.

"At any one time we have over 20 to 50 babies on bottles so always trying to find ways to help with time. Kangaroos are bottle-fed until 18 months old," Theresa told Storyful, who hosted the video.
