A tiny furry baby antechinus drinking milk from a syringe

More baby antechinus coming in… this boy is only 3 grams and doesn’t have his eyes open yet. He’s hungry and feeding well so far 🤞

I have some baby antechinus in care at the moment, so please enjoy this sleepy baby’s tummy atop a pile of siblings.
