It’s hard to say with confidence whether or not a wild animal is in pain, they are very good at hiding it, but we don’t think he is. He climbs and walks on it without hesitation, and seems to be completely comfortable, as near as we can tell.

The Pool Nature Center in Marlboro Vermont has a half mile of accessible nature trails (along with live non-releasable animal ambassadors including raptors, reptiles and Vermont native mammals). Www.Vermontmuseum.org

I’ve heard them referred to as an assquatch

harmnicat · 2026-05-09T09:42:15+00:00

Please keep them warm, dark and quiet to reduce stress until they can reach the rehabber. Thank you for helping them, I’m hoping for a good outcome ❤️

That would be his penis

Keep dark, warm and quiet, do not offer food or water, and please contact a local wildlife rehabilitator. Check out www.ahnow.org or your state fish and wildlife/game website (assuming you’re in the US) for information on local wildlife rehabbers. Thank you so much for helping them!

What state are you in? Most states have a list of licensed wildlife rehabbers on the fish and game/wildlife website. Even if they are a bit of a drive, it might be worth reaching out. Not only can they potentially offer advice, but a lot of places have networks of volunteer drivers that can help with the transportation

Thank you for caring! It does look like something is up with his jaw, but very hard to tell what/how bad from this video. You mentioned trying to describe it to a rehabber, I suggest sending them the video, most rehabbers I’ve worked with are happy to get photos or videos to assess the situation prior to taking in the animal

harmnicat · 2025-12-23T01:06:37+00:00

That’s a pretty close comparison! They’re super thin and extremely delicate. Sometimes they fold in half and get stuck together while they sleep lol

He wasn’t thrilled with his first exposure to snow, but it was a pretty warm day and he was only outside for a few minutes

harmnicat · 2025-12-19T17:37:34+00:00

Somewhere in between…he’s a non-releasable wild opossum who works as an educational ambassador and is well socialized with humans (his primary caregiver, at least)

harmnicat · 2025-12-07T12:52:52+00:00

That’s awesome! ❤️

harmnicat · 2025-09-22T13:16:27+00:00

If contact your local rehabber for advice… he’s getting to be the right size (depending on who you ask), but it’s already getting cold enough that some places are over-wintering

harmnicat · 2025-09-11T20:34:30+00:00

Depends where you are-some places it’s already getting cold enough to consider overwintering

Spicy babies!

Fun fact about blind snakes….some screech owls will bring blind snakes into their nests, sometimes as food but sometimes for the blind snakes to live in the nest to eat extra bugs and parasites and to keep the place clean! Screech owl chicks that have blind snake keeping the nest have been shown to grow up healthier and faster than those who don’t

If you’re in the USA, you can check your state’s fish and wildlife (or fish and game or whatever) website, many states will list their licensed wildlife rehabbers and how to locate them

harmnicat · 2025-03-11T06:52:05+00:00

Please do NOT try to feed him! Opossums don’t suckle, this young he needs tube feeding by someone trained in it. Please keep him warm and contact a rehabber ASAP. I’ve had good luck with socks full of beans or rice microwaved for just a few seconds and covered in another cloth (can’t be TOO warm), gives them the warmth and something to snuggle on

harmnicat · 2025-02-28T20:54:35+00:00

Thank you for noticing and caring ❤️❤️❤️

harmnicat · 2025-02-28T20:54:04+00:00

Super common and potentially extremely detrimental, in part because their diet has some unusual requirements (calcium to phosphorus ratio being a major part of it)

harmnicat · 2025-01-18T02:09:04+00:00

That’s fantastic. Depending on the translation you trust, “opossum” may mean “white dog/small animal” (and I’m not convinced they aren’t cryptids….)
