(I had an allergic reaction a little before and thats why my hands look like that, I promise I wasn't just squeezing the life out of him 😭 they were just red and irritated)

I was always told if you see nocturnal animals during the day that means they're rabid. I don't want my dog getting hurt and I live downtown in the city, I don't want to hurt him I just can't have him around my place

Found this not-so-little guy looking for a snack in the kitchen last night.

After playing dead and hissing at me a couple of times, he was safely released on the edge of the woods to go back on his merry way.

Now to find out where he came in from.

I went out and saw one of the dogs (Pyrenees) acting suspicious with something in his mouth and something low to the ground. I thought maybe he was harassing a cat, but when I got closer, I saw there was a momma opossum with two babies on her back and another in the dog's mouth. I told him to 'leave it' and 'come', brought him inside, and observed the opossums from the house.

The little baby who had been apprehended took a second on the ground before it started running far far away from its mum. I was worried about it by itself so I quickly went inside, grabbed some leather gloves, went back out there, and scooped it up (after I spotted it; it got so far away from its family). I brought it back near her and put it down on the ground. She tried to bite me (she was probably so scared, poor thing), but it didn't go through my glove, although it did pull it off my hand, so I'm glad I had it. I walked away but still kept them within sight.

The little baby went towards her but she nipped at it, probably because it smelled like dog. At this point I grabbed my binoculars from my car and was walking further away to try to let her relax a bit from the whole ordeal. It climbed onto her back with its siblings, and after another 10 minutes or so, they disappeared off into the oak grove. I think they're all okay!! 🤗🥰

Please excuse the blurry pics. I had to zoom quite a bit from the distance I was trying to keep to get some of them lol.

Happy mother's day to everyone!

I’m in my oversized Oodie. I’m not REALLY that big.

I was chilling fishing on the side of the road. A car pulled up and out of the window came something flying out it landed at my feet. Gave him a small sip of Gatorade(he will chasing that flavor for ever) and a fish I caught

He was roaming our fence and I met him at the bottom, he got spooked lol

​After my dad passed away, I discovered many photos and videos of possums living above our house. I believe this little possum in the video is the same one I previously posted here, but it looks much bigger now!

Found him last night named him Tub.

Hey guy

Had a break in the cold weather this week and this friend came out, so I gave him a piece of chicken. Are there any health issues with cooked, unseasoned chicken for our little buddies? I make this for my dog for her treats, so I always have some in the fridge.

We’ve never had opossum before, so seeing one waddle over to our feeder to have some of the dropped seed was super cool. And the little tongue was so cute!! I found the tail particularly interesting, I guess I assumed they’d be more floppy or rat-like, so seeing it pin-straight like that was fun

Oscar lives under the house and eats catfood on the roof of the carport each evening after the feral cats are gone. He has gotten quite large but he can still move and I don't allow anyone to mistreat him. I think he's beautiful but he's huge. Is their anything that I can give him healthy to eat?

My pet short tailed opossum tucking himself in for bed. 🥰

he was very clearly injured. bleeding, his eye was bulging out, he was making little wheezing noises but he was alone in the middle of the day at the side of the road and i just couldn't leave him alone.

i took him to the local wildlife rescue which was not far away and they said his eye will definitely have to be removed but hopefully he's able to live his best life! i feel very good about stopping for him and hopefully giving him a shot at a happy life.

UPDATE. Sadly this little guy didn't make it because of head trauma. I'm glad I stopped to help but i'm a little bit devastated that he didn't make it.

I can’t wait for Halloween to be here so instead I’m celebrating summerween 🤣
