Primarily 'Possums residents are down to 24! Baby season is officially over, at least for opossums. There are often a few bunny stragglers. However, I have several new volunteers to make life even easier, and groups of UGA students came to help out and learn what happens here.
The more opossums I can release before the cold comes, the happier I will be and the happier they will be as well! Spending the next 5 months in captivity, although safe, is not very fun and I believe delays their intellectual development. Their lifespan is so short, I don’t want them to spend half of it in a cage. I will probably drive the biggest 6 to a location in south Georgia as soon as they are big enough. That will leave 13 plus any adults that come in. Five more months of making 13 meals a day and cleaning and entertaining will be a challenge. But I know we can make it! Thank you for all your support and for following along this year’s journey.
