    Default PLAYING POSSUM?

    My rehabber friend in San Francisco called me this afternoon asking for help in releasing 3 opossums youngsters orphaned in February when mom got hit by car.

    I have located an area with a lake, trees and proximity to a city near my home that can be a potential place for release. But I never done an opossum release before.

    Any advises, cautions, do’s and dont’s will be highly appreciated.

    Troopers dad.

    I'd suggest shooting farm mom a pm, she does possies and could give you some pointers.
