Joeys at this stage have furless pink skin to fine fur, eyes closed to just opened and ears drooped, or starting to become erect. Joeys are fully pouch-bound and totally dependent on milk. Faeces are yellow custard to toothpaste consistency.

Feeding Guidelines
Use Possum Milk Replacer <0.8 for pinkie and just-furring joeys, prior to pouch emergence. Furless possums and gliders are very prone to disease and mortality and should only be attempted by experienced carers with sufficient resources.
Making Up Milk
To make 100 mL of milk: Mix 16 g of powder (2½ scoops) with 90 mL of warm water.
To make 1 litre of milk: Mix 160 g of powder with 900 mL of warm water.
Add about half of the water to the powder first and mix to a paste. Then make up with remaining water and mix thoroughly. Water is preboiled to ensure that it is sterilised. If the water is too hot it can cause the milk to curdle. If it is too cold then it will be difficult to disperse the powder. An electric whisk can be used for mixing larger quantities. Milk can be stored in the fridge for a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. It may be useful to store frozen milk in small portions (e.g. ice cube trays), so that the required daily feed volumes can be easily thawed out. Once thawed out, discard any unused milk, and wash feeding utensils thoroughly.
