A syringe or eye dropper may be required for pygmy possums or small gliders. Feed around 4 times per day for joeys with less than 80% of their pouch life completed, reducing to twice a day after full pouch emergence, when sufficient solid food is being consumed. As the young progress, they can be taught to lap milk from a shallow bowl and may be offered a single feed at night, alongside solid food. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003eIf the joey shows signs of dehydration (e.g., during hot weather), give extra drinks of water between feedings. Joeys can dehydrate rapidly if not maintained under optimum conditions. Water should always be available to them once joeys begin to emerge from the pouch and become more active. Joeys should also have access to browse fresh and solid foods at this stage.

The amount of milk fed will depend on the quantity and nutritional value of other food eaten. Possum joeys should be weaned at about 1.3 times the joey’s pouch life. For example, a Common Brushtail Possum has a pouch life of 150 days, so they can be weaned by 200 days. Possums and gliders should be weaned on to solid foods that form part of the natural diet of the adult of the species.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHigh Protein Supplement\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eshould be used as a nutritional supplement if feeding fruit and vegetables. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003eWhole milk solids (low lactose), whey protein, casein, glucose, vegetable oils, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, maltodextrin, vitamins A, B\u003csub\u003e1\u003c\/sub\u003e, B\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e, B\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e, B\u003csub\u003e5\u003c\/sub\u003e, B\u003csub\u003e6\u003c\/sub\u003e, B\u003csub\u003e9\u003c\/sub\u003e, B\u003csub\u003e12\u003c\/sub\u003e, C, D\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e, E, K, biotin, choline, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine, selenium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalysis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003eProtein 32%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003eFat 33%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003eAsh 5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;\"\u003eMoisture 3%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wombaroo","offers":[{"title":"8.8 oz (250 g)","offer_id":54351004270703,"sku":"jxi1789953011784","price":16.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.75 lb (1.25 kg)","offer_id":54351004303471,"sku":"upc1789953011785","price":50.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 lb (5 kg)","offer_id":54351004336239,"sku":"ttn1789953011786","price":170.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/2248\/0239\/files\/wombaroo-possum-milk-replacer-stage-2_1.webp?v=1789953017","url":"https:\/\/pawprintgear.shop\/products\/wombaroo-possum-milk-replacer-stage-2","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
