Default Virginian Opossums - O lets have some babies Patrick

We took Patrick and O to the vets last night and got the all clear for breeding them.
Here is Patrick



and O being held by our vet


They got a complete check up and were weighed. Patrick now weighs 4.95 kilos and O is 4.40 kilos. Must say they behaved brilliantly, they were seen by all the nursing staff at the practice.
We brought them to my home and put them together for the first time and they basically ignored each other


there was a lot of wondering around and eventually they did seem to notice one another
O seemed a lot more interested then Patrick, until she nipped him. She did not do any harm but after all the moving and pulling around it became too much for the pair of them and they fell asleep.

We will keep everyone posted on their progress.

Thank you for your time.
