UPDATES - NEWS:
Here are some photos of critters that have come through here this year, some are still here of course! Please click on the thumbnails to view a larger version of the photo or view my special OPOSSUM INFORMATION PAGE!



3-legged female Opossum, 5 months old5 Opossum babies, 6 weeks


Important Note: Most opossum babies end up orphaned, because their mother was hit by a car (their only real defense is to play dead...) or killed by dogs.

So PLEASE, if you care and you happen to hit an opossum with your car - accidents happen - take a minute and make sure that there are no babies on the animal, because they usually survive a lot within momma's pouch. After all, they are America's only Marsupials.

If there are babies crawling around, collect them carefully, keep them warm. Do NOT attempt to feed them anything.
