3 call eggs in incubator tapped them downwith some gaws on the sticky part of the tape. The turner turns them on their sides/they lay flat. I'm hopeing that it goes well .

I've lost my mind.

We've lost our minds!! LOL

So last night in the road, there's this opposum, we get out to check her out because her eyes were still doing the glowing thing. Well sadly enough, momma was dead and it must have just happened because she was slightly warm. next to her was a baby, above her was two more babies, all dead. Not sure what made me think of checking her pouch, but I did inside was 7 more babies. One was dead but six alive. It's was raining and cold, so off to home they go.

These babies are very very young, still pink skinned, eyes closed, ears closed. I would say probably about 3-4 weeks old.

I know nothing about baby opposums. Exspecially this small, so google we went. In my bator they go, they need a temp of 95.3 and fed ever two hours, well not having the correct gear, off to walmart we go. Got the milk replacement and droppers.

Sadly none of them made it, apparently they needed to be tube fed, not dropper fed, so I believe they starved to death.. it was worth a try though... one site said you can dropper feed them but apparently tube feeding is the way to go because you have to go pass there throats, they apparently swallow the mommy nipples in order to get well fed... I wouldn't have been able to get a tube that small in time anyway...

And that's my 2:30 in the morning adventure...

What's the craziest animal that you guys have ever tried to save....

Sorry you lost them.

Craziest thing I tried to save, other than baby birds, were baby rats.

Also saved a opossum, but it was much older that yours. Also saved a baby ground squirrel, but again, it was also older, so pretty easy to care for.

Well my hatching is completed.

Having the electric out for two days did do some damage. Ten made it to lock down but not all ten survived. One died the first day of lock down the second one died he had a crossed beak, three died because they were soooo confined with sticky gooy stuff it's crazy they didn't died the first day either.

BUT LADIES AND GENTS I PROUDLY BRING YOU THE SURVIVIERS!!!!

 

[Lacrystol]
