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…
It’s every-day-a-bunny season and this past week did not disappoint! Plus Pixie, Victoria and Blossom got released. Bunnies From eyes closed to eyes open, from healthy to injured, it’s definitely NOT primarily possums here right now. Since I started working on this post, two more cottontails have come in. Both of these were caught by…
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…
Baby season has started. I’ve fielded calls about orphaned or displaced squirrels, injured rabbit kits, and the first opossum joeys of 2024 have arrived. The first calls of the year: Bunnies Don’t kidnap bunnies! They do not do well in rehabilitation and there are multiple ways to keep them safe, in the nest where they…

This beautiful Cedar waxwing was found grounded in a park. I’m treating him with anti-inflammatory medication and feeding lots of berries! I…
The frigid nighttime temperatures are getting exhausting- it’s not usually this cold (in the teens and 20s) for this extended a period. Dripping faucets, heaters on pipes, down comforters on beds. The opossums stay nice and warm in their Clawsable heated cat houses and I have straw-filled beds set up for any wildlife needing respite….
This week’s update will be a smattering of news bits, with photos, of course! David Crowie David Crowie healed and is released! Shortly after that photo was taken, he flew off and joined his flock. What a relief for all involved parties! He arrived in November with a wing droop and a foot issue. After…
Photobiomodulation is a healing tool used to stimulate cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, and treat pain. I use it to encourage healing of the spinal nerves in my opossum who was attacked by a cat and suffers lower extremity paralysis. It is also known as cold laser therapy. Why is photobiomodulation? Photobiomodulation uses certain ranges of…
Normally I would describe this as the quiet season, but it’s been anything but the last week. Birds and bats and opossums coming and going and exciting facility developments. David Crowie arrived after being found dragging a wing and generally acting weak. He’s on anti-inflammatories and a good diet, and is improving! Hopefully he will…
