This is one spoiled baby.

This is one spoiled baby.  He went to work with me so I could make sure he got enough fluids.  A little bit before the day ended I heard him calling me so I got him out and gave him some water.  Then I just stuck him and his blanket down my jacket and wore him home that way.  😂  Opossums like pouches so he was happy with that.  He seemed to sleep rather soundly despite me moving around and doing things.  I guess they are used to that.

When I was on the couch doing my nails a little bit ago he was sleeping in his carrier.  That is - until he woke up.  So he started calling again (sounds like little kitten sneezes, FYI - that's how they call their mama) and I couldn't hold him because my nails were wet and smelly.  So Shaun got him out and then they proceeded to snuggle.  This is how the kid fell asleep.  How freaking adorable.  🙂

He's not interested in food or milk of any sort, but I've added some calorie supplement to his water so I'm gonna give him a couple of more days before I get worried.  All of the drinking has flushed out some sticky black poop so that's a good thing.  He doesn't have teeth yet - just gum nubs, but I've got a recipe for some mash that I've made him and I've also got opossum formula.  Unfortunately, for the time being he is uninterested in any of it.  Hopefully his appetite will return soon.
