Just a bonehead mistake--she couldn't explain to me how it happened.
I have no idea what's in the "medicine." Opossum diets are very controversial. Ours evolved out of consultations with two different vets. They used to get mice rarely, as treats. Then one mouse a day was added to their diets; and now they get two. It's useful for enrichment, at least, because they go right for it, and I can hide the mouse in a box or tube and they'll work to get it.
Out of curiosity, what opossum diets have you seen? (Skunk diets are even more controversial--what have you seen for that?)
