baby echidna or "puggle"- furless, spineless, eyes still shut

Cheers

Mother had been hit by car, echidna puggle found and deivered to me by police highway patrol. (Big man in uniform - softie at heart!) Usually single babies for echidnas.

So precious...Did the mother die or reject this baby? How many in a typical "litter"?

Almost looks like a very miniature polar bear! It must tickle when it feeds.

Awesome - it still looks so undeveloped - rather fetal ~

It is very rare to find baby echidnas as the mother buries the puggle in a burrow while she seeks food. The puggle needs to be kept quite cool, unlike other baby animals. It feeds by licking milk formula from my hand.
