Bat

Baby Opossum

If it is 7-8 inches long (not counting the tail), it is old enough to be on its own. If it is tiny or injured, keep it warm and contained, and take it to the Center.

Adult Opossum

Carefully contain the animal. They can bite, even through welding gloves! Take the animal to the Center. Call TWRC if you need help or advice in containing the animal.
