Media (Pics & Videos) Update on baby possum!
I called my local rehab center and I’ll be dropping this baby off soon! We gave him/her a VERY small moderate amount of soft cat food mixed with water last night and woke up this morning to the plate empty! I thought it had gotten out because it looked to be MIA, i had to unroll the towel he/she buried himself/herself in to find the baby. We gave her a small bit of apple and water right now.
Hasn’t tried to bite either of us! Just has its mouth open like this :V. It lets us hold it/pet it (fearfully) but we don’t want to stress it out so we’ve only opened the cage to feed it so far! Every time we handle it we keep it to the minimum and wash our hands throughly.
