Into This World (3): Possom goes noodles

Into This World (3): Possom goes noodles

 

Last time. we saw Meego eating small pieces of solid food like mango, carrot, ...

[See Into this world (2): getting ready to explore http://www.gotoknow.org/posts/561267]

We got curious and did a number of experiments to find what kind of food a possom would eat and which food a possom would prefer.

On the little plastic lid (we used as feed plate for Meego), we had boiled carrot, zuccini, cabbage, fresh mango, banana, and ... There isn't much of any thing left on the plate, is there? Meego is a messy eater. She can leave bits and pieces everywhere.  But don't let her get over your head that way ;-)

 

We should call her 'Meegowniew' (as a Chinese name for a 'little girl who loves noodles'). We found out she would slurp up a portion of noodles in 1 minute flat. Faster than a speedy Gonzales can say 'yippy yo...'.

 

So, our list of Meego's preferred food goes like this:

Carrot, noodle, zuccini, milk, sweet mango, apple, dark plum, fried rice, white bread, bone, multigrain bread, pizza crust, dry biscuit, ...

Yes, we have given her some joint bone pieces (because growing animals need 'calcium'). We are looking for good sources of proteins for possoms -- no meat but may be insects.

 

Meego is not ready to find her own food yet. We tried hiding her food and she was just happy to hang around with us and not worrying about finding any food to eat. (Maybe we, should starve her more -- but that is another report ;-)
