First day out!

Today the babies took a big step!  They moved into a larger, outdoor intermediate cage.  They are still eating some formula and still have some heat in case they get cold, but this is the first step in preparing them for the wild.  I decided to snap some pictures for you to enjoy.


The camera was very scary to this little girl.  Opening her mouth like that is her way of showing that she is big and scary.  Are you afraid?  It makes me proud to see this behavior, because it means that they are behaving like they would in the wild.

You can see the one eyed little boy in the middle.  His left eye (your right) had to be removed due to an injury.  It was actually hanging from the socket when he came to me.  It just looks like that eye is closed in this picture.

Look at that cute face.  It's hard to believe that in a few months these little ones will be out on their own and be wild possums!
