I just found a baby opossum?

Can I pick it up? i found one yesterday like it and i took it to a nature center. The outher one seemed nicer and this one is hissing at me. But theres no mom around and without its mom its gonna die. Its about as big as a peincle. If I pick it up will it bite me?I just found a baby opossum?
Put on gloves than pick it up at let the ppl at the nature center take care of the rest.I just found a baby opossum?
give it some food and give it a bed but make sure you put on gloves first
glovesssss and watch out for its teeth! dont let em getcha.
Leave it be, and let nature take its course. He will bite your *** in a heartbeat...
yes you should help it or it will die, it wont hurt much if it bites you. you might just get a disease but i'll be worth it if you save its life
dont hurt it tough!
well his mom is probably somewhere around or maybe he can survive with out her. otherwise capture it take it 2 the nature center.
Opossums are foul, vile creatures.





Put it in a gunny sack with a rock and throw into a large body of water.
You really don't want to chance it. Wild animal bites are not something you want to fuss with.


Get a towel and toss it over the possum, then carefully get it into a pillow case, (drop it in with the towel if you have to) or cat carrier, if you have one and take it to the wildlife center.


Good Luck
Your local nature center,SPCA or animal control will know what to do --give them a call. Please be very careful with wildlife- rabies is on the rise and global!
yes use a coplof gloves on one hand and grab it behined the neck
get a fising net and capture the animal then put in a cage please dont handle it because it will bite and u could get rabies or some other kind of diease
