Little Mama has been relocated to my garage. This is not an ideal setup (still, unfortunately) but it's the largest enclosure I've got that is not already occupied. Also, it will be quieter out there and it's nice and cool (but not cold). The perspective doesn't really show it, but she's got more floor space and also that pink thing to the left is a make-shift hammock. I'm hoping that she'll sleep in it rather than pooping on the puppy pad and then rolling up in it. 🙁 I've read that opossums like to poop in water so I might have to make her a toilet. I can get my shallow dish from Shaun's yard tomorrow if I need to.
She's still terribly dirty and that bothers me. I don't want to risk stressing her or hurting the babies by bathing her, though.
To move her I put on some rubber dishwashing gloves... mostly because I didn't want to stick my hands in anything gross. I think at this point she's realized that I'm a friend because she didn't growl or even open her mouth at me. Home girl should know she's special - I cooked dinner for her, but not my own son! 😂 Nah, we did share some pizza rolls so that counts. 😃
If anyone is curious she's got a scrambled egg with spinach, some fresh veggies, yogurt, and then leftover fried rice. And a big bowl of cold water.
