Over-wintered opossums - all grown up

Well, one problem of over-wintering 13 baby opppossums is that during that time they all grow up. And grown up oppossums go into mating season in February. So, yes, we got to the point where we had to separate the males and the females. :). So all the ladies are in the house enclosures now, and all the males are in the outdoor enclosures. Oh boy! They are all very ready to go, but we need to wait just a little longer to make sure they have a good food source and the weather isnt quite as cold. Susan has built all sort of wonderful things for them to climb on and she also routinely gathers piles of leaves for them to pick through for bugs and such. Soon they will be starting life on their own Please consider a donation to help us in our work! We can’t do it without you! Http://OrphanedWildlife.org
