Related: About this forumDog becomes Mom to little possums
Buzzfeed story hereFrom the article:
Although it was not clear how old the babies were when they lost their mother, Maldonado was concerned the little opossums wouldn't be able to survive without a mother's warm pouch to sleep inside.
Maldonado decided to care for the litter of opossums, and ended up having a little help from her best friend Pretinha.

Have never seen a possum so wee. Incredible.
Adopted Mom Pretina looks very sweet and kind. Hope she can manage 5 possum tots, with help from her people.
