Mom opossum that was mauled by a dog is now well enough to be moved to an outdoor enclosure with her babies. She promptly decided the 'upstairs' nest was perfect. This was the first time the babies had gotten to ride around on mom, made a little trickier by mom still missing big patches of fur from her injuries. One little fellow didn't get the hang of it right away and got left behind - you can hear him making "pssh" calls and mom answering with lip-smacking sounds to help him locate her.
