ElSwanno & PJ....my friend, Kim, used to be a possum wrangler, too, of sorts. She was the designated looney at teh zoo she worked at who was willign tot ake on caring for the littlest critters who'd lost their moms to big ol'e three dimensional roadhogs! Sounds like hers had the same type of diet. We cared for one over a long weekend and I remember feeding it a lot of boiled eggs, as well.

KKOne: my son had a pet hedgehog for awhile and I had a friend from Germany who had one. The ones I've seen over here, from pet stores, are smaller than our grownup possums. I was surprised that the spines on a hedgehog don't prickle that much, at least not the one I was able to pet and hold.

Absopossumlutely Yours,
