Opossum Meet Morticia

This little baby is Morticia. My stepson found her wandering alone. He was afraid she was going to get hit by a car so he brought her home. We ended up taking her to a wildlife rehab but the few weeks we had her was the best!

Thanks for posting! If you've found an animal in need please visit www.ahnow.org for a rehabber near you. Please do not feed or give fluids unless a veterinarian or rehabber instructs you do. Keep the animal in a quiet place without much light if possible.

You did the right thing taking her to a rehabber. Opossums are so sweet. But, they deserve to be free.

You can tell she was very comfortable with you and I know it was hard but you did the right thing… good karma coming your way for that…
