Do you take requests over here? If so can I get some possums (aside from the north American opossum, wanna get some that are more unheard of) thanks and apologies if it's not ok to request!

There are actually lots of possums and opossums in the world, lets have a look at some of the other species that are in the same genus as our beloved Virginia Opossum...

A very angry baby who is furious that we would dare to remove his fleas, give him fluids and offer a nice square meal after someone brought him in dehydrated and emaciated. This feisty little escape-artist was stabilized and handed off to a rehabber prior to release. Good luck out there little firecracker!
