BTN Receives “Dwarf” Virginia Opossum

BTN has seen a few of these cases throughout the years and in their experience, they remain small, or “dwarf” size. This condition typically results in shorter lifespans and creates health issues that make them statistically less likely to be successfully released. Under normal circumstances, an opossum’s lifespan is approximately 1.5 years in the wild and 2 to 4 in captivity.
