Right now is exactly when we want people taking time off. It’s slow as fuck, we can mainly get by with smaller teams if we’re caught up on production. Get the fuck off the clock for a week or two, that shit don’t roll over, you’re not getting it paid out, and you’re definitely not getting time off once summer ends.
Just a friendly reminder to anyone who comes across an opossum and decides to be brave: Don’t, unless you’ve been trained, call a rehabber or animal control if it looks like they’re in need.
But if you’re in a situation where you, for some reason, have to, do not grab or hold them by the tail. They use it for stabilization and extra grip. You might rarely see one who slipped and are hanging from the tail, but it’s not a usual activity. It is extremely harsh on the tail and spine for them to be supported like that.
Cradle them as best you can while keeping a grip across the back of the neck, holding the head still. If they’re comfortable enough to not be a bite risk, they may even wrap their tail around your arm!
