He was in the middle of the road surrounded by magpies, in the sun. The vet says he’s healthy, just probably overheated. Props to wildlife carers, they are awesome. He will get checked over by the vet then go to a local wildlife carer until he’s well enough to go back to where I found him.

That’s so cute.
Aw poor honey 🫶🏼 thank goodness you found her
Well done you for caring and for taking the time to look after him.
Thanks OP 🥰
I regret to inform you you are now his legal guardian
HES SO CUTE
I didn’t realise breastfeeding possums was beneficial for them
My ring doorbell kept notifying me of movement all afternoon. Every time I checked, I couldn’t see anything. Put it down to the cars going past (though they don’t normally trigger it).
Get home and let the dog out and a very distressed little possum scarpers out of the bushes right next to the camera and up a low branch where is stops. Poor thing does not look good.
I’d left water out earlier but I put the dog away and moved the water closer. Couldn’t see him when I returned but my dog’s desperation to return down the stairs told me the little guy was still around.
Hopefully he found the water I left out.
God bless!
Awesome! 🥰
(and props for the nfg shirt too)
Awwww this is awesome. Good on you, OP!
You are so cute just like the little fella.
Oh the poor little darling. Thank you for taking care of him!
That is so adorable! Lucky he didn’t scratch you!
Thank you for caring. 😘
Poor little thing. Thanks for helping him ♥️
I had a young one visit my room 2 nights running. Theee are neatly stacked boxes everywhere and he finds a little tunnel somewhere and ends up in the most difficult place to get to. I thought it was a rat until I saw the eyes. I am not their biggest fan.
I found a gorgeous little one on a hot day a couple of years, on a footpath and looking very distressed. It was good to be able to help it out.
Good on you for looking after the little fella; he’s the cutest little thing.
What are you going to name it?
