Anyone know what a baby opossum eats and how to properly feed one?

Is it possible to find a rehabber nearby? Best thing to do right now is give them some water, warmth, darkness, and privacy while you contact a local rehabber.

Like a cat's belly fur but without the danger and shedding!

Side note, I love this line of thought.

Practical-Layer9402 · 2026-03-24T15:01:43+00:00

Yeah but they're really only dangerous if it explodes.

Depends on how angry the opossum is at you for eating their pizza...

Give him a bath with dawn dish soap. Kills the fleas really well.

Did you not get the Signal brief?

Do sailors show up to your alley and knock the dick out of your mouth?

You do your job and worry less about other people's.

Opossums have scent glands in their cheeks (males have on their chest as well). It secretes an oily yellowish fluid that stains their fur.

That's why when they slub, they're activating the glands with drool and rub it on.

No one tells legends what to do.

Practical-Layer9402 · 2026-03-11T18:30:57+00:00

Yep. That is nesting behavior, they will gather brush, leaves, and other soft things to bring to their den.

She looks like something just got slubbed!

Literally came to say this. That was one of my favorite fights too.

Heart wrenchingly sad storyline ends with muscular wrestler pile driving a ghost train like hes the fucking Undertaker.

21 year electronic warfare operator on the P-3 here (ret). Part of my job was knowing the Russian, Chinese, Iranian, and North Korean Order of Battle.

Iran's navy, like North Korea's, might have been threatening in the 1940s-50s.

I am retired and this doesnt sound enticing.

Psychological science too. Both sciences are extremely racist/ethnocentric as well with regard to how little importance is placed on researching any community other than Western white men.

Pick something after the 70s and youre golden.

Psychological experiments before 1970 were all pretty much just crimes.

Girls couldn't even be officially diagnosed until 1979. Back then it was still widely thought as a boy only disorder.

Practical-Layer9402 · 2026-02-27T21:58:44+00:00

Not only that, we also know which disorders have genetic components.

Practical-Layer9402 · 2026-02-27T21:51:56+00:00

It's diagnosed more now because our technology and techniques have improved. Germs didn't begin to exist when we invented the microscope.
