Tonight’s intake needs a warning. It is not pretty,cute, or something to make you smile. I received two opossums tonight out of the same clutch/litter. Baby A is in good health with a weight of 0.089kg. Baby B is not doing well. Due to malnutrition, dehydration, and human interaction (with out proper wildlife education) this little one came in weighing 0.048kg. Finder had both opossums for a few days and thought baby B was paralyzed. She is not, malnutrition & dehydration has left this little one fighting for her life. If you find wildlife CONTACT Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries for further guidance or your local Wildlife Rehabber who has knowledge on these animals IMMEDIATELY. Please DO NOT feed the animals, without proper nutrition education you could inadvertently leave wildlife fighting for their survival. Opossums do not “latch” to bottles and have a very finicky digestive system. DO NOT KEEP WILDLIFE IT IS ILLEGAL IN LOUISIANA TO OWN OR POSSESS ANY WILDLIFE AT ANYTIME WITHOUT LICENSING.
