We lost Margeaux in September 2024 when her hips started to cause her too much pain and she started to have trouble walking.  This was most likely due to the fact that she'd had metabolic bone disease when she first came to us.  This may have caused the bones in her hips to deteriorate quickly over time.  The decision was made to end her suffering.

Margeaux came to Awesome Possumz in August 2022 from another rescue center in southern VA.

She had been found as a single baby in someone's yard when she was three months old and, after having been at the rescue center for three months, the caregivers there couldn't determine why she wasn't growing, climbing or walking very well. 

She was transferred to Awesome Possumz and a trip to Blue Ridge Wildlife Center in Boyce, VA determined that she had metabolic bone disease.  Her little bones had not developed properly due to lack of calcium, resulting in her lack of strength and slightly bowed limbs.
