Back in August I visited our friends at the Florida Wild Mammal Association and during my time there they asked if I would like to take in a non-releasable opossum with a crooked spine. Of course I said yes!After their founder passed a couple months ago I stopped hearing from them and had assumed they had placed him elsewhere until I received this email over the weekend. It looks like if all goes well with Florida Wildlife Commission we’ll have a new family member joining us soon!

So exciting! They mentioned him being carried in a sling. Is he immobile and needs to be carried around or is that more for comfort while he’s with them?

How exciting!! Just out of curiosity, if Mushroom were still here, would she and this new guy have been able to be housed together? I know Opossums are typically solitary animals in the wild, but could that change in captivity? Fingers crossed you get this little guy!🤞💕
