Good..in a pinch, you can give him wet cat food too. Poor little guy.
I wouldn't pinch it..... even if it does like cat food.

I give up
Chasey do you think spraying him with pam or something would help him ease out. :shrug:
There is a possum stuck in my crawlspace access. I think he's been there for a few days. My little dog has been barking non-stop and he usually doesn't. Now I know why.
Is there anyone in the Lexington Park area that I can call? I don't know how long this little guy has been there, but he's probably hungry. I just gave him some dog food.
Help!!!!
SOUTHERN BAKED POSSUM (OPPOSSUM) WITH SWEET TATERS
1 fat possum
Salt & pepper
2 cloves garlic
2 c. water
5 strips bacon
2 lg. onions
1 tbsp. celery leaves
1 lg. can mushrooms
5 lg. sweet taters, cut in halves
3 tbsp. lard
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
Nail head of possum to a board, just a little larger than the possum. Skin it. Make paste of lard, salt, pepper and rub over entire possum. Fill cavity with onions, garlic, chopped parsley and celery leaves. Place possum and board on rack in roasting pan. Lay 5 strips of bacon across breast. Add water and mushrooms. Add water as needed. Surround the possum with sweet taters. Leave uncovered.
Bake in oven (300 to 350 degrees) until tender. Baste every 15 minutes. To determine when done, pull leg away from body. When done, throw away the possum and taters and eat the board.

He's not stuck like that. He fell into my crawlspace access. He's on the outside of the house in a hole surrounded by metal. I have no way of "scooping" him out. Hhhhmmm, wait...shovel...
or maybe a board so he can use it as a ramp :shrug:
Hubby did that earlier. He hasn't climbed out.
Give it time........the night is young.
When I was about 11-12 years old, we found a live baby possum crawling on his momma who was from a car. The baby was about 2 1/2 inches long. We brought him home and raised him to full grown. We had to teach him how to catch crickets and such... then we took him to a wildlife refuge and let him loose when he was grown...I miss my 'Possum so....
Do you have a big fishing net or a metal crabbing one?
