Every single life matters, no matter how small.
This is why the 1.8 was created…
specifically for neonates under 10 grams.
If you are a wildlife rehabber, it is important to
inform volunteers and finders to not leave any animal behind simply because they’re “too small to save”
It is difficult to tell how much a baby weighs from looking at a photo.
Instead of replying that your organization does not take smaller sized babies, try connecting with a colleague that does. You can then direct the survivors over to the next rehabber.
Anything is OPOSSUM-ABLE when you put your mind in the right place, and especially your heart.
You must try first.
