The True Story of Blossom the Handicapped Opossum, Paperback

Blossom was found on April 22, 2021 all alone by the edge of the woods. She could not move her back legs at all. This is the story of her rescue, rehabilitation, and eventual release back into the wild. This is her story told from her point of view with real pictures.

If you find a baby opossum all alone, you should bring it home. Opossum mothers can 't come back for their young if one falls off their back. Although they might hiss, they are not dangerous and will not bite.

Try to find a wildlife rehabber in your area or someone with experience in raising opossums or other small critters. If you can't find anyone, you can go online to find out how to care for it yourself, what to feed it at its current size, and everything you need to know.

And although opossums make great pets, wild animals are much happier in the wild.
