Baby Opossums
Taken from the pouches of their dead mothers. Many manage to
survive being hit by cars or having their mothers killed by dogs. These were
eventually released back into the wild.
The single most important ingredient to raising healthy opossums is DIET.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of misinformation out there. There are
websites telling people that if they feed opossums cat food, it will kill
them. Totally absurd!!
Think about it. They eat carrion. Simple common sense should tell
anyone that they need a balanced diet, and that is canned cat food, or dry
cat food, moistened. If they do not get the proper diet, then they will
most certainly get Metabolic Bone Disease and will eventually die or have
to be euthanized.

tell you the same thing. |
