1. Medvedka or Medvedek (?) seems to be the name for a teddy bear:

Garfield ima rjavega plišastega medvedka po imenu Pookie. Garfield has brown plish bear with name Pookie

see = sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garfield

2. медбедка seems to be the russian name for an insect

see ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BA%D0%B8

Apparently it means female bear; see medved +‎ -ka. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:58, 20 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
The insect would be медведка (medvedka) (the Russian Wikipedia entry is under медведки (medvedki)). Russian entries should only be in Cyrillic (I don't feel comfortable creating Russian entries for words I don't know), and it's not a good idea to use information on Russian terms in Slovene entries- yes, there's some overlap between the two, but you would have to already know the Slovene term to know if the Russian information applies.
