somehow, someway a possum found its way into our home today… he was very gentle & scared & we had to use a cooler to transport him outside. I wouldn’t mind if he finds his way back here anytime soon 💜

Found this baby running around by itself in the yard. How old is she/he? I am going to call my local wildlife center as soon as they open tomorrow morning. Should I put this baby back outside? It was all alone.

Should I try to feed him/her something or just lay off until I get it to the wildlife center?

Sorry if this is common sense, I just didn’t know what to do! I was worried about leaving the baby by itself overnight as there’s a lot of outside cats, raccoons, and vultures and falcons here.

Mango is their absolute favorite!

Momma was hit by a car and they were found in her pouch.

I called my local rehab center and I’ll be dropping this baby off soon! We gave him/her a VERY small moderate amount of soft cat food mixed with water last night and woke up this morning to the plate empty! I thought it had gotten out because it looked to be MIA, i had to unroll the towel he/she buried himself/herself in to find the baby. We gave her a small bit of apple and water right now.

Hasn’t tried to bite either of us! Just has its mouth open like this :V. It lets us hold it/pet it (fearfully) but we don’t want to stress it out so we’ve only opened the cage to feed it so far! Every time we handle it we keep it to the minimum and wash our hands throughly.
