I'm really concerned about the amount of juvenile or sub adult possums that come into care for rehabilatation that should never have been taken out of the wild. Then the so called well meaning people feed the possum fruit or stuff that sits and fements in their stomack. they often end up with bloat or the new diet completly wrecks their gut so that they have to be euthainzed. Male Brustails particulary when taken out of the home range for any length of time usually cannot be succesfuly released back as the other males take over their territory and when released the possums are usually killed out right or picked on till they die. The other things that goes for all wildlife is that people should never keep animals in care without the right knowledge. Their is alot of mis information on diets just look at the glider forums. The diets we give them should be more like their native diets
