I got a new little buddy today. A young opossum that must have fallen off of his mama too soon. A nice lady picked him up out of her yard and drove him to Oxford all the way from Gadsden. He's pretty small. And dehydrated. I've given him water a few times since we've been home. Can't feed a dehydrated baby or it could be fatal. He's snuggling with my two other runt boys. I figured he'd start to feel more comfortable and "at home" in the presence of other little opossums. Also, they'll keep him warm without me having to deal with a heating pad and all that. 😉
So far, so good. Just gotta take it slow. He might have to go to work with me so I can keep the fluids coming. I'll see how he's feeling in the morning.
