It’s getting cold at night and soon the radiant heat panels and heated cat houses will be going into the outdoor enclosures. Blue Moon Electric installed outlets right at the enclosure so extension cords aren’t needed. Thank you, Blue Moon Electric! Here is the last week in photos. Squishy happy faces! A Great Horned owl…
The Pitiful Possum Pentad are improving incrementally. They have a lot of catching up they need to do. All the bunnies are released (note to self, check all edges of older enclosures for rotten wood easily chewed by tiny rabbits). The 4 youngest squirrels have opened their eyes and a wren is staying while their…
All opossums are released! I repeat, all opossums are released! Except the tiny 5 that came in yesterday, who will spend the winter here. Bunnies will go soon, they are being “hardened off” in an outside pen. I have 4 squirrels which is a perfectly fine number, and I do not need more, thank you…
I thought we were in the “quiet season”, but Mother Nature had other ideas. This baby Flying squirrel joined us after a cat pulled him and his sibling, sadly now deceased, out of their nest. Poor Mama, wondering what happened to her babies. You can see the extra skin he has (patagium) between his front…
I’m down to 28 opossums, so it’s time for a spotlight and update on the litters and the individuals. A peek and a snack. Hello! Colorful and nutritious meals raise healthy opossums, ready for the world. The 4 Rubies They have been here since May 17! I don’t like keeping them for such an extended…
Almost everyone is released back to the wild- including Molly and her babies. Well, some of her babies. These releases come just in time for the second round of baby season. Molly in her den in the biggest enclosure with a view of one of the babies. What felt like just weeks later, after over…
Babies in things! How about some babies on things! Or even babies doing things! All adorable, all the time. Mama and her babies are now separated and living their own lives as tired lady and big fat kids on their own. They grew so big and strong on Mama’s milk, so much better than even…
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…
