If it is actually lapping the liquid is is definitely not an opossum - they do not have an actual mouth at that age. Just a small hole which is filled by the mother's nippleand milk is pumped in . That is why you must use a syringe or tube with a baby opossum.
What ever happened with this little guy? Did it survive? What did it end up being?
By the markings, I'd guess it isn't a possum, since they have white faces. It's probably a mouse or a rat, right?
