I need advice asap. I don't use Reddit, but figured this was the fastest place to get real human info. Just scooped up a small, juvenile possum from the middle of highway traffic in Atlanta. I didn't see a mother or siblings around and wasn't near any nature or treeline. He seems scared and physically exhausted. I have no idea if he is big enough to be without his mother. Should I let him recoup with some shade and water and then just let him go in some woods, or do I need to find a sanctuary or something to give him care like a mother would? he is a little smaller than my (fairly small) hand. Thanks so much!!!
