Baby Opossum Lunch Time

We have another feel good video for you today! These opossum orphans have paint on their ears so our staff can accurately record weights and monitor their health. While these opossum babies are cute, they will grow up quickly and develop wild instincts. It is NEVER ok to keep a wild animal as a pet, these animals are under the care of licensed rehabilitators with the intent to be released as soon as they are ready.

I'm always happy to see possums being treated so well. These guys only have a couple year lifespan in the wild, and it's usually a brutal life. I try to help the ones in my area when I can.

So very sweet. ❤💕🤗

They are so cute, and they are really smart

[@Pgr-pt5ep]

They are cute....but calling them "smart" is really generous of you. They are food smart...that's about it.

[@MarilynOPossum]

@@Pgr-pt5ep No, that's not true. Some studies show possums are almost as intelligent as pigs.

An opossum lived in our back yard and would sleep in our shed. He was about Four years old. He passed away. He seemed fine. He passed in his favorite place in the shed. 😢 we never treated him as a pet. He didn’t seem afraid of us.

I kept a little baby possum for a while. I remember he loved viana sausage and kitten food.

We raised three little possum babies when our dog chased the mom and she dropped three of them. They are so precious. Thank you for your selfless work!

Why are their ears colored?

[@ditto3127]

It says in the description in order to accurately measure their weight💕

You humans have a hard time telling possums apart. I don't know why. Possums are all very different looking from each other. But I've heard humans have this issue with pandas as well. Anything that looks like it's wearing a mask is hard for you guys. lol In all seriousness, they put a bit of nail polish so they can tell who is who, and who gained what.
