Saw the first word of this ask and all I could think was

Which would be a fair response after reading my fics, TBH.

Damn i wanna read the rest of that first post screw off tumblr

The text read:

And this is why you should always check the pouch of any dead marsupial you find / hit with your car! Baby brush tail possum was still very much alive, wriggly and grouchy about the lack of milk and the fact that with rigour setting in it didn’t fit fully into the pouch anymore.

So, just as a quick reminder, all you Aussies: if you do find a dead mother with a live baby,

- DO NOT detach it from the teat, especially if it’s still hairless like this guy. They attach to the teat at birth and it swells inside their mouth to keep them in place. They physically cannot be detached until their jaw is more fully developed, or at least not without tearing the mouth. If you can gently coax it to let go, do so; if not, you will have to either (very carefully!) cut the teat from the mother, or take the whole mother in to the vet. Obviously this is easier with a possum than a kangaroo. I just walked about a kilometre up the main road carrying a dead possum wrapped in the shirt of a generous worker on the nearby building site.

- Especially if hairless, they are not meant to be exposed to the elements yet. They will dehydrate, sunburn, or chill very easily. They will also get very stressed at any age if not in a nice dark warm pouch-like thing. If you are detaching it from the mother I hope you just randomly happen to have a towel or thick shopping bag handy. If not - and especially if it isn’t entirely within the pouch, as here - do your best to keep it from overheating or being exposed to the direct sun, etc.

- Get it to the closest vet immediately. A body this small dehydrates very quickly and you don’t know how long it’s been there (unless you hit the mother yourself). The vet will pass it on to wildlife rescue, and probably offer to give you updates on its status if you want them.

Omegaverse is great especially when it ties in with true mates / mate bonds because it creates a level of intimacy that lasts which can only be desired in our current time

(Sorry about how short and abbreviated that ask was, I had a letter limit /^\) thankyou! :) x–Oh it’s no problem! And if you ever need to find another fic again, don’t hesitate to send in multiple asks; the more info the easier it’ll be for me to find it!
