eew, eew, eew, eew...

I went to put new bedding in one of the feral houses yesterday and when I opened it up there was a decomposing body of a possum inside! OMG it was soooo disgusting. I think I am going to have to throw away the house (and its a nice one) because the decomposing body juices soaked into the side and floor. Bleech!

Aaah...the joys of caring for wild critters!

Oh how awful! Sorry about your house!

EWWWWWWWWWW....

I feel bad for the possum. I knew he had been living in there because I had seen him coming and going from the house during the winter. Of course since they sleep during the day, there was no way I was going to try to change the bedding any earlier. In fact, I don't know what possessed me to check it out yesterday....perhaps I knew unconsciously (or nasally) that he was dead. I have no idea when he died or what killed him. Perhaps he ate too much Cat Chow! Poor little critter.

Ohh gosh, eeeeew. Poor Possum. What are these feral houses you talk about??

I found 4 or 5 dead possumns under my shed and in my back yard over the years. Poor little things, I don't know what happened to them.

Sam, you can see the feral house I was talking about in the first picture in this thread.
