Put them back where you found them, it is illegal to possess a live wild quadruped.

I would just ride down the road and pitch them out at street signs.

Not in places I have worked, that would bring to much risk of spreading an illness and a PR nightmare.

We had rat/mouse colonies for birds and small mammals and bought rabbits and chickens as needed for larger animals like bobcats and coyotes.

We raised one bottle feeding it with kitten formula.

Was a cool pet. Eventually it got a bit tool wild when it matured, so we let it go. It stayed close to the house and visited from time to time... But eventually went its own completely. Or maybe got run over by a car. Who knows?

But it was a cool pet for a year or so.

So everytime you people see a baby animal alone out in the wild, you think they are orphaned? You can't take them little frickers everywhere with you as they are loud, annoying pieces of shits who walk slow and try to play with everything. Not a good way to catch food.

Now the OP has completely fricked a Opossum family over and killed off the young. Even if the young do survive, will they even be able to be released back into the wild, or just stay as a pet? The point of nature is pass down the genes, so unless they can get back out there pass down them genes, the OP completely fricked over an entire opossum family branch.

Well, the one my family saved was running around a mother and two other baby's that were smushed on the side of the road. I guess it's possible that it was not an orphan and the little thing was merely paying respects to the roadkill... But I kind of doubt it.

Way to assume the worst in people though... Definitely the positive outlook on life everyone should strive for.

Wonder if you can bottle feed them with kitten formula? Can get it at pet stores. The mama might have been killed. They are very clean. We have two that eat on our front porch in New Orleans.

Who was it, on the board, that had a sister raising an opossum? She might want them, built a big home for it, etc. Tanden!!!
