This little opossum arrived at Hobbitstee Wildlife Refuge after being found stealing eggs from a chicken coop. He had a very serious tail injury. It appeared to have been frost-bitten and the injury was aggravated by his chewing at it. After he arrived at Hobbitstee Chantal consulted with Dr. Lee about a plan of action for the tail. Antibiotics were started and surgery was scheduled to remove the damaged part. Surgery took place a few days ago and he did great! He will stay with Hobbitstee until he’s ready to be released and should live a long happy life.
