3:00 snapshot #871


This is the only animal in my care at the moment, a young orphaned opossum that will be an educational program animal. She is quarantining at the hospital for a month. My coworker named her Flo.


This is Santa's chair.

I Ferocious. Lemme alone!

I knew a female opossum, part of an outreach program. We didn't even think of handling her when she was in season. Bitey!

There seems to be a LOT of contrary opinions on what to feed a captive opossum. MBD is apparently a serious issue. What do YOU feed the little lady?

Cool photo...one of the interesting types of urban wildlife.

I saw a hilarious bit in one of those cheesy When Animals Whatever style shows. A woman had called out the local animal rescue group becuase there was a "monster" in her cupboard. She was genuinely afraid of the thing and didn't know what it was. It turned out to be one of these.

I think they're cute, but I can see how one lunging at you out of a cupboard would be scary.

Do you have a friend with an iPhone? Maybe Flo likes playing antsmasher...
