Did you know a baby opossum is called a JOEY?
Every Joey Deserves a Chance
When an opossum mother is lost, her babies face impossible odds alone. This rescue is a reminder that compassion can change the course of a wild life. Watch as one of our wildlife interns shares the story of these tiny joeys and the care that helped them begin again.
In their earliest days, these orphaned joeys rely on expert hands for every feeding. As they grow stronger, they learn to eat on their own, explore their surroundings, and develop the instincts they’ll need to survive. Every bottle, every milestone, and every step forward brings them closer to the ultimate goal: a healthy return to the wild, where they belong.
Follow along to see their journey!
