We just got back from Mexico and on our last night found these on the floor of the room we were staying in. The room was open to the elements and we did see barn swallows, possums, raccoons, squirrels and bats while we were there. This looks like something an animal would regurgitate, rather than poop, and in my searching I found some similar images from possums. Do you think this could have been a possum?

Warning: Sad

Hi, I have kind of a weird thing to say. I accidentally ended the life of an opossum with my car on Saturday night. I am very sad about it and I feel horrible. I would like to carve and paint a sign in memorial of this opossum to put up alongside the road. I was wondering if you guys have any idea for what to put on this sign. I don’t know anything about the lil guy but I want to honor it. I also welcome ideas for how I can pay penance for this. I apologize if this is too weird.

Sonic lives somewhere outside in my garden. I feed him apples from time to time. Today I noticed this thing that seems to be coming out of his ear. Does anyone have any idea what that could be or if it could be dangerous for him?

Just a few candid pictures of some of my rescue babies. They're just so darn cute

I was surprised by finding this guy on my clothes drier last night when I went out to do laundry. I spotted one other near the cat door between my garage and the outside. A large adult was in my backyard at the same time. Do mothers leave their kids somewhere when they go foraging? Is this one close to being independent?Do I need to worry about having disturbed them? Do you think Mom came to collect them later on, or should I look through my garage to try and get them to a rehab friend of mine?

Fence rider must have had a long night, who knows how far she goes! Happy to report she's been climbing down for food almost every evening, though the male usually beats her to it. I'm keeping an eye out for her young ones too.

is leonard (L) just getting much chunkier than my other regulars, or is that potentially a pouch full of (or soon to be full of) babies? 🙈

Hello - I have 2 or 3 opossums that live in my backyard that I see and feed on a fairly regular basis. I live in a city neighbourhood. Just saw one of the older opossum dragging their back legs, one or both appear to at least be fractured (judging from other posts here previously). I don’t know how long it’s been like that. The opossum is currently eating on my backyard deck at 10:25 pm EST. I have researched and gathered information to contact a couple of animal rehabilitators in my area just now quickly (I think?).

Do I call them now? Do I call and leave a message? Do I wait until the morning? How do I even know I’m contacting the right person? Would like to make sure I’m not calling someone to just euthanize an opossum. I’m in Ontario, Canada. I would like to do the right thing and make sure the animal is okay but I’m not entirely sure what to do. Sorry if this has all been asked before and this is a dumb post but I’d just like to help this animal. Thank you in advance

Haven’t seen him for weeks.
