I now have in a pouch on the heat pad in the tub a furry little Swamp Wallaby joey. He wieghs 500g and is so tiny and cute. He was found standing beside the body of his mum on the edge of the road. He appears to be uninjured but I'll take him to the vet tomorrow. Poor little bugger.

Thanks for pictorial. That was GREAT. And I recognized the one I saw as the squirrel glider. Didn't realize there were so many species!! Pretty interesting little critters. Look forward to seeing more of your posts. *grins*
