It should be around the size/weight of a chicken egg, I believe. Very cute, but still often very squirmy.
Very squirmy 🥹🥹
They are really great animals. My goal was to get to know them a bit better this year, and I'm a little sad most are grown and gone out on their own now. I've had some hang on to me by their tails, and that might be the top highlight for me this year.
One of the ones I've got left lost part of its tail. I call it Stubbs. That one is my fav! 🥰 But they are really all my favorite.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Preciousness overload!!!
So cute, it’s an opossum burrito! Hope it’s not too spicy.
Opposums are kinda the opposite of chili peppers, they get spicier the larger they get. 😜
They just had this photo up for an announcement their phone system was down, so I'm not sure why he was rolled up. Maybe to keep it warm while they were handling it? Our little ones have notes on their crates saying to keep them on heat at all times.
Snug as a bug in a rug,
They might like having a bug or 2 in there with them! Snackies!
