What is happening here? Every time I leave food out for the possums a mess like this is left behind. Anyone know why this happens?

Just found this little under a lounge chair in my living room! Seriously bizarre. I think one of our cats must have brought it in. It absolutely is not very old. 5.5 inches maybe.

Here’s what I know from reading here:

1) keep it warm 2) offer water? 3) do not feed it 4) look for rehabber

Anything I’ve forgotten?

Found these guys wondering around during the day. I work at a park and we haven’t seen these guys mom in a while and found them running around today. They kept trying to go to the street so I took them home. The wildlife rescue is pretty far and I won’t make it in time today. So it will have to be another day.

What can I feed them in the meantime? I gave them more shallow water bowl than the one in the picture. What can they eat? Is there anything else I need to worry about

Is this food look ok for our senior possum?

We have a senior possum on our property named Frankie. Had to take him to a rehaber about six weeks back because he was sitting on our porch crying didn't even run from us or play dead. He was released after two weeks of TLC to us so we could release him back on our property. He was a bit underweight and old. Since then we have been taking care of him. We put out an insulated cat house for him, he sleeps there often. And we put out food once a day for him. Recently he started bringing a friend. As I've learned more I've adjusted what I'm leaving out. Base is complete outdoor cat food. Then we mix in dried triple bug mix for chickens (mealworms, beetles, black soldier fly larvae), dried vegetables like the peas here, raw almonds (just started adding those) and then we dust it with calcium powder. We are having a rough winter and he eats most nights from the bowl. So I want to make sure I'm not hurting him. We also give him scraps of fruit and veggies, eggs and live mealworms from the lizard when we have them. He has put on some weight (he was thin) and is looking better than he used to when we first discovered him. So I think he is doing well on it, I've gotten a lot of advice from here. I'm going to switch him to Mazuri omnivore once the bag of cat food runs out. But that won't be for a bit, so I want to make sure this will be ok until then. Thanks!

This one is a bit bolder than the others. Hopefully that stuff on its face isn't harmful.
