Default Baby Short Tailed Opossums...

This is a first for me and Juliette (the mum) so I'm making no promises on a happy ending! But, since it's such an interesting rearing process I'll keep taking photos as things go on, and hopefully we'll get the whole thing from tiny to weaning for you all!
They are three days old, and have doubled in size already!

Thanks! Not bad considering she is in a scratched up plastic tank, I had no flash on and only the tiny flouro in the shed!
They look pretty gross though, huh?!
