A LOT happened in the last 2 weeks, which is why it’s been 2 weeks since the last post. Here are some of the highlights, starting with the release of Nat the bat. Ashley created a wonderland of enrichment and comfort for Nat. He loved his little bat finger puppet friend. Big Browns can be…
2025 did not happen like I thought it would, but it’s hard to direct Life into a certain trajectory or vision. I knew in 2024 that I was burned out, and I had to stop. Overwintering opossums in 2024 meant even though I was burned out I had to keep going until they were released….
As of this writing, I have 4 opossums under 100 grams who I am syringe feeding. Once they start lapping from a dish, I will turn them over to another rehabber. I love the little babies and get attached, but I am supposed to be taking a break, and they have room. I have 2…
I planned to make a huge post updating everyone on how the not-rehabbing is going, how the opossums with the rehabbers I am training are doing, and the general sense of things. But I am struggling with technical issues and just got in a bunny covered in fly eggs. So here are a bunch of…
Nothing but good news this week! Dolly, Lolly, Chip and Chup All four squirrels are gaining weight quickly and getting sleek and shiny. They ride around in my apron pockets sometimes. Tonight they came out of the pocket for the first time and peeked and poked around from the safety of my lap and shoulders….
Capping intakes at 30 (well…31) has made this second round easier to manage. It does mean I have to turn animals in need away, and that hurts. Here’s the latest scoop! Special Delivery!

I haven’t been posting blog updates- or even Facebookand Instagram updates which take less than a minute- because there have not been spare minutes. I know everyone wants to know what’s been happening here, so I’m at least going to share a series of photos with captions. I’m going to take a break from rehabbing…
It’s opossum season! All day, every day, nothing but opossums. All the bunnies have been released or are near ready to go. Now I have 41 opossums. This means I won’t be able to take in anything else until mid May. But the 41 will get the best care possible! Meet the temporary residents in…
What’s gray, brown, pink, white and black? Baby season at Primarily Possums! Buns Bun. More buns. This week’s blog will be a small photo dump with a little update. 24 animals have come into care this last week- all opossums and cottontail rabbits. Here are a few of the new faces. Receiving comfort. Thank you…
9 tiny opossums, 1 newborn armadillo, a small bunny, and 4 recovering adult opossums. I know more are on their way! Winky, named because he has limited vision in one eye, was released in a great area. He will be supported with food and shelter if he desires. Thank you Angel for providing him a…
