πΏ Did you know that opossums are nature's little helpers? πΎ These curious creatures play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. They help control tick populations, clean up dead animals, and even consume pesky garden pests! π
Let's show some love to these unsung heroes by sharing their benefits and protecting their habitats. ππ

πΌCaring for Baby Virginia Opossums πΌ
Feeding baby Virginia opossums is a unique and delicate process. Since they don't have the ability to suckle, tube feeding is necessary to ensure they get the nutrition they need to grow strong and healthy. Each morning, these little marsupials are weighed, and throughout the day, they are fed a percentage of their body weight every few hours.
(this video has been sped up for posting purposes)
Our goal is to increase our capacity to care for more of these precious creatures, and we need your help! By contributing to our capacity campaign, you can make a real difference in the lives of baby opossums.
Help us provide the love and care they need π‘π

πΏπ° Exciting news! Another cottontail release to start your Saturday off right! Meet 24-140, fondly nicknamed "Pool Bunny" πββοΈ. This little monster was found barely keeping his head above water, but after a few days of R&R, some nutritious meals, and a few thorough health checks, he's back to his bouncy, Bun-a-tudey self! ππͺ
If you have a pool or pond, pls consider installing a "scamper ramp" to help little ones like him safely escape! Let's keep our furry friends safe and sound. πππΎ
