After Friday's storm, these four baby opossums were found soaked, very cold, and
lifeless. Once dried and warmed (in a box on a heating pad), they "came back to life" and
joined other orphaned opossums. Hope you enjoy the photos of these adorable babies!
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU FIND A BABY OPOSSUM?
Many people are beginning to find baby opossums now. Some become orphaned after the
mother is killed. Others become orphaned when they fall from her back.
Baby opossums are carried in the mother's pouch. If an opossum has been hit by a car,
check her pouch. Only females have pouches. If her babies are still alive, remove them,
place them on an old t-shirt or pillow case (never a towel—their teeth or claws can get

caught in the towel loops), keep them warm (a heating pad set on "low" or a plastic water
bottle warmed in the microwave will do), and take them to St. Francis Wildlife. Do not give
them food, water, or milk. Just keep them warm. It is safe to handle baby opossums,
squirrels, and rabbits; they are all very uncommon rabies vectors. Addresses for our
wildlife hospital and the Tallahassee veterinary hospitals that accept wildlife for us are at:
http://www.stfranciswildlife.org.
If they are still attached to their deceased mother's nipples, and you don't want to pull
them off, you can bring her and the babies. If there are no babies, move the adult's body
from the road to keep it from endangering the lives of scavengers.
If you find one baby opossum check the surrounding area. There may be more—the
mother has 13 nipples! Be very quiet and listen for "sneezing" sounds that the babies
would make to call the mother. If the opossum is 7 inches long from nose to rump, not
including the tail, it's on its own, and does not need your help.
