Description

Highly digestible formula for opossum joeys weighing at least 45 grams until weaning. Fox Valley Opossum Formula is a rehabber-approved milk replacer that produces better weight gain, fewer digestive problems, and better acceptance than most other formulas.

Fox Valley Opossum Formula mixes easily, smells wonderful, and there is no need to supplement the formula with any added cream, yogurt, or probiotics.

Also recommended for species with similar milk composition such as ferrets.

About Fox Valley

Feeding

Feed 1 ½  – 2 teaspoons per one ounce bodyweight daily, divided into 3 to 5 feedings. These feeding directions are guidelines. As each animal is an individual, the feeding rate may be increased or decreased according to the needs of the neonate. Gradually decrease both the quantity of milk formula and number of feedings per day as weaning approaches.

Mixing

• Use one part powder to two parts water. Add powder to warm water (approximately 100°F or 37.7°C).
• Blend until powder is evenly mixed.
• Place in refrigerator for approximately 8 hours to fully reconstitute. (If you need to feed sooner, allow the formula to sit for about 20 minutes.)
• Mixing directions are based on volume, not weight measurements.
• Store any leftover formula in refrigerator and discard after 24 hours.

Storage

Unused formula powder should be stored in a cool dry place, preferably the refrigerator or freezer, and is good until the expiration date printed on the label.
