Many many years ago in Connecticut I found a dead possum in the road went over to remove it from the middle f 5e road and found it was a momma with 4-5 babies in her pouch. I was on vacation and spent 2 days trying to find someone to help me. Finally found a vet tech that took them. What a scary weekend with all those babies, the tech had had one as a pet as a child. Lucky possums because the wildlife people couldn’t care less because they were considered pests. That was before internet, had to use a phone book.

I JUST. Found this little girl possum who was near her then dead mom. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find the babies besides the one. “Sadly looked in momma too” so I decided to take her and see what comes of it. Do you got any tips or ideas on how to raise this type of animal or if I should give her to an animal rescue facility.

Idk how old she could be. I’m guessing a few weeks maybe? She’s around the size of a chicken finger 😭🙏🏼 so she’s obv past bottle fed age
