Best Answer

Babies stay with mom cats anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks. During that time, she teaches them grooming, eating solid food, lapping water, hunting, and socialization between cats. If a kitten is separated too early, it will not have learned these skills and may become a troublesome cat in a new human family.

What do baby oppossums eat?

I have cared for oppossums at the petting zoo where I work and also have rescued. They are opportunistic omnivores, meaning, they'll eat just about anything. Of course, they love cat food, dog food and the like, they LOVE grapes and cherries as well. Try offering a sardine or two and you'll have a friend for life.
