  1. My dog just attacked a possum. I checked it (in the dark, with a flashlight), and saw the belly moving. She was with babies. As I tried to take the babies from her pouch, she began to breathe. She was really torn up, but I picked her up and put her in a tray and carried her to my workshop. I checked on her every 20 minutes or so, and after about an hour, discovered she had died. My wife came home and we together managed to pull 7 babies from her pouch. They are now in a box in our bathtub in our master bath, being kept warm with socks of rice (microwaved for a minute) and hot water bottles. They are being hand fed every hour with a tiny eye-dropper of "cat milk replacer". So far so good. Not that anyone is listening, but I'll post updates as necessary.

  3. Same thing here except the mom was hit by a car and we had ten but two died right away. I have read what should be done to help them survive and all websites suggest giving them to a wildlife rehabilitator but there are none in my area. So we became adoptive parents of eight and are doing our best to help these guys make it. I would love to share info and tips and since Im newer at this than you would love any advice you can give. Thanks and Good Luck, Dana
