Juvinille Brushtail Possum

This juvenile Brushtail Possum was found outside on his own near a dumpster bin behind a supermarket in Bayswater. The rescuer who attended noticed there were a couple of other possums hanging around the bins looking for food scraps so she tried to reunite him with his Mum. After two nights and 4 attempts to reunite unfortunately they were unsuccessful and the baby had to go into care at a wildlife shelter.

Animal parents are the best carers for their animal babies and it is always best to try and reunite them with their families before being sent to a carer, however we have heard that he is a very healthy boy, has settled in to his new home and is doing really well
