Question What is the best thing to feed a baby possum?
Answer Hello Brado.
I take it you have rescued a baby opossum and are trying to raise it. Unless you have experience in the field of hand rearing opossums, I advise you not to do so. Give it to a trained wildlife rehabber in the area. That is the best thing to do.
