NEBRASKA — A sweet tooth landed an opossum in the care of a wildlife rehab center this week- just in time for Valentine’s Day.
According to a Facebook post from Nebraska Wildlife Rehab Inc., someone brought the animal in after it devoured an entire Costco chocolate cake. That’s a lot of cake!
Staff said the opossum was “panting a lot, however mobile and alert” when he was brought in.
With some time in rehab and a diet change, the rehab center says the chocoholic should be safe to return to the wild.
Staff said the opossum is “a little cranky about our strict ‘zero chocolate’ policy.”
