Little Babies (Patreon)

Four new little intakes! These babies are from a mom who was hit by a car. The awesome people at Florida Wild Mammal Association bottle raised them and now they’re read for their “soft release”

During the soft release process the animals are kept in enclosures close to the release area. They are cared for until they are big enough to go off on their own, which with opossums is when they reach about 3 pounds. Once they’re ready we will open the enclosure, but still bring out food and water for them for a few weeks while they acclimate to being in the wild. Eventually, everyone stops coming back as they become fully self sufficient.
