The Wolfpack's Opossum Park! (Photos!)

Disneyphile · 04-10-2008, 12:42 AM

I couldn't help but think of that song from "The Goofy Movie" tonight.

As stated in the Sooo... thread, the Wolfpack rescued 2 abandoned baby opossums this evening. Thanks to their kindness, these babies will now grow up healthy. They will be turned over to a wildlife center tomorrow, and then released back to the wild once they are fully weaned.

I was honored to visit the little ones and assist in playing "momma" for a bit. They sure do love to snuggle!

So cute!
You guys are so sweet taking care of them!

---------------
Now gather 'round my possum pals, join the jamboree
Come hoot and howl and holler from the heart
Every chicken, pig, and goat will help by yelpin' out a yodel here at Lester's Possum Park

Visit Beula's Farmm of Fiddles, pet our varmints, taste our vittles
Lulu's lizard gizzard pie's a work of art
Then do a doe-see-doe and dance like there's a possum
In your pants down at Lesters Possum Park

Well, don't ya wanna be a-hangin' from a tree?
We're mighty glad to see ya and the parking's always free
Here at Lesters Po-po-possum park!

Oh my. Lots of little animals tend to end up at the Wolfpack's place, don't they?

Speaking of Opossums, I almost ran one over on my way home tonight. Luckilly, I saw him in time and he also turned around and went back.

They sure are cute when they're tiny itty bitty guys

LoT is really a swanky animal rescue

I love baby 'possums!

Thanks for coming by taking the pics and posting them! Will keep everyone upddated.

Was up at 3AM for feeding time and will continue feeding every 4 hours until I deliver them to Huntington Beach Wetlands. Will be calling them this morning and hopefully dropping the two little guys off this afternoon when Wolfette gets out of school.

They are adorable! I'm so glad you found a place that will care for them. Poor little lonely opossums!

NickO'Time · 04-10-2008, 08:54 AM

Wow, those are cool! So nice of you too take care of them.

They're amazing. Their fur is silky soft, and they are really cuddly and like to be pet. My favorite thing is their paws. Those cute little "hands" like to grab onto your fingers.
