He is only on one milk drink a day! I am not entirely sure if hes meant to be on more or less.. Will call the wildlife person this week..
But he drinks all his milk out of a bowl, no more bottle!
Then in the afternoon he gets some apple.. Then at about 6pm i redo his cage with fresh leaves, then his bowl of water which he drinks !
Then he gets a big bowl of fruit and veges..
You know how bird owners have a tough time getting their birds to eat healthy?
POSSUMS ARE SOOOOO EASY!!! HAHAHAHA
He loves food.. He gets apple, mango, pineapple, carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, peas and corn ! Oh and banana, he looovesssss banana!
All fresh, uncooked, he just grabs the piece and eats it all up!!
Here he was last night, sitting eating something..
He reminds me of this old hunchback lady-
Ohhhh deary.. eh eh eh.. Why dont you try a piece of my apple sweetie? >:] eh ehhh
From what i figured out, he was born in April...
They are weaned at 9 months.. So in december he should be ready for release..
In november he will go out in the big cage outside, i will put it outside my door on the verandah, with lots of leaves and branches..
And then December it will go out into a tree.. Still getting fresh food from me, and then you open the door, and he will come back each day, but venture out at night time when he is brave.. Then one day he wont come back and eats all the trees around here!
I am having problems getting him to eat leaves though.. He loves fruit and veges, but he doesnt seem interested in the leaves i put in
Will get some plumbago flowers... Possums LOVE them haha
