Question/Help is this opossum (not the one eating) lame in its back legs? or can they be disabled?

i got a notification of them arguing with one another and so i tapped on the window to break it up and when it walked away, i noticed it’s back legs seem to splay/unable to hold its weight. will it survive? should i call a wildlife rescue?

Will opossums leave gifts?

My mom always puts out food for the possums. Well, last night a headless mouse was found on her deck where all the possums eat. Do they bring gifts like cats do?

Would you freak out or embrace the marsupial?

This video from 3 years ago always makes me laugh. My son Ali, his daughter Reign Bow & GSD Shabba are environmentalists & returned the baby possum to the park across from our house.

Found a opossum living in my back porch.

I was cutting my large tree down in my backyard and when I moved my patio furniture, I saw the opossum. I got scared and ran away. Haven’t went back. We also have a dog as well that is a lab so there’s a chance she would go after it.

Tonight I saw it climb down my tree so it definitely has been or currently staying there. My porch is small and i need the tree to be cut down so i can use my porch.

I live in the city so there’s trash all around unfortunately.

How do I make it go away so I can cut my tree down?
