(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 fed them several days ago because they got inside somehow and were raiding my cat’s dish. I moved her food into my bedroom and eventually caught them both and when they came in there to eat. I put them back outside, but later that night they were back inside the house again and scooting back to the bedroom to get more food.

I’ve caught them and put them back out again but same thing. There’s obviously an opening into my old cottage somewhere and we’ll find it this next month when we rehab the unit. But I hate to put them out because they’re at an age where a marauding raccoon may come along and kill and eat them.

Oh well. Pray for my little babies, would ya?

Have this possum that comes by a lot. I know the footage isn’t too awesome but i couldn’t make out whether that patch I was seeing was a pouch or man-bits. Was hoping a possum enthusiast might be able to tell better than I can. I can provide some more photos if needed

My girlfriend brought in a baby opossum. Since she doesn’t really work with opossums she’s having difficulty identifying the sex. Maybe someone could help we’d really appreciate it!

This little baby is Morticia. My stepson found her wandering alone. He was afraid she was going to get hit by a car so he brought her home. We ended up taking her to a wildlife rehab but the few weeks we had her was the best!

My husband saw a mama get hit in the road today, and stopped. There were tons of babies, but only these three lived. I’m in a very rural community and don’t have access to any rehabber. We do live on a farm, so I have some supplies as needed.

How old do you think these three are? What is the feeding schedule and what do I feed them? Right now they’re curled up in a box with a heating pad on one side to keep them warm.
