Most opossums live only a season or two, struggling through winter with almost no defenses. Yet they quietly protect us — clearing ticks, pests, and snakes from our neighborhoods. If you see one curled up or barely moving, don’t chase it away. It’s not a threat — just freezing, hungry, or aging. Your kindness might be the warmth it needs. | Gardening Tips & Tricks

🦡 Winter Wisdom: Coexisting with Opossums ❄️As winter settles in, you may notice opossums moving a little slower or seeking shelter closer to homes. This isn’t a sign of trouble—it’s survival. Opossums do not hibernate, and they aren’t built for long stretches of cold. Their ears, tails, and toes are sensitive to frost, so during winter they look for safe, quiet places to ride out extreme temperatures. 🙏🏼🐾Here’s how we can coexist compassionately:✅ 🍂 Leave natural shelter – Brush piles, woo

Tone Cantrell has shared some of the best video's on keeping opossums fed and safe. These are wonderful winter shelters. He also has video's of similar clear totes for feeding stations on our page. The feeding stations allow opossums to enter to eat but not raccoons. He leaves foods for the raccoons but makes sure not all food is eaten by place the opossum food inside the totes. THANK YOU TONE!!!

Their enclosure is one of 35 that we are currently working to move and/or rebuild through our Restore our Nature project and campaign, as we have just about 1 year left on the lease on our former property.

I made a dry shelter for the stray cats / possum (we don’t discriminate here). We have freezing temps the next few days and it has rained non stop so the ground will definitely freeze. Hoping some critter uses this area. Now to go inside because I can not feel me hands #shelter #winter #cold #cat #diy
