Baby opossum left behind
-UPDATE- I attempted to call the closest rehab center I could find but because of Good Friday I don’t believe they were open, I will be calling again tomorrow, I messaging with a quite a few people to ensure that he’s good for this next day or two of being here while figuring out a way to get him where he needs to go. Thanks for all of the comments and help and education!
A baby opossum got left behind by his momma in my back yard because my dogs scared her so we rescued the little guy (thankfully my dogs aren’t aggressive) I’ve had him for about 2 days, his eyes are fully open and he can walk around and stuff. Just trying to learn about general care and feeding because I want to take care of him correctly. I’ve been giving him PetAg milk replacer through a syringe to ensure he’s getting nutrients and massaging him down there to help for bathroom time after feeding, and I also have a low temperature heating pad that he loves to rest on with his blanket before and after feeding. Just wondering if there’s anything I’m missing or not doing correctly because I kinda like the guy now and want to make sure he stays healthy and alive.
