Hi, I felt people may be interested in seeing this pic, I couldnt face posting it before now as I was so upset when it happened.  This little joey was on the way to Miahs pouch when sadly it fell off, I found it later that day on the cage floor.  It was Damiens (my 9 week oop joey) twin.  Its so amazing to see how developed it was.  I hope I havent upset anyone by posting it but thought it would be educational.  Sorry its a bit blurred but it was only about 1/8th of an inch.

Wow, thanks for posting that Tillie.  It is sad that the joey never made it to the pouch, but s/he must have been weak or something.  I remember you saying you thought it was because you disturbed the mother but I'm sure it wouldn't have made any difference.

Yes thats the joey, I selfishly slightly moved the cage but I didnt see the joey fall off then, I guess I will never know.
