The Peculiar Purple Possum

04/08/2026

Every single life matters, no matter how small.

This is why the 1.8 was created…

specifically for neonates under 10 grams.

If you are a wildlife rehabber, it is important to
inform volunteers and finders to not leave any animal behind simply because they’re “too small to save”

It is difficult to tell how much a baby weighs from looking at a photo.

Instead of replying that your organization does not take smaller sized babies, try connecting with a colleague that does. You can then direct the survivors over to the next rehabber.

Anything is OPOSSUM-ABLE when you put your mind in the right place, and especially your heart.

You must try first.

🦇🦝🐰 Our First Ever Sale Is Live 🐭🦊🦔

Since launching in 2019, we’ve never run a sale. Keeping prices stable for wildlife rehabilitators has always been a priority.

With potential new tariffs creating uncertainty for small manufacturers like us — and because our products are made in FDA & ISO approved medical manufacturing facilities — any tariffs would fall directly on us.

For now, while things are still steady, we want to help rehabbers get stocked up before Baby Season begins.

🟢 All tube sizes are 15% OFF
🟢 FREE USPS Ground shipping on orders $50+

The goal is simple: help everyone get the supplies they need now and avoid those last-minute $29+ express shipping charges when babies start arriving.

We currently have inventory ready for early baby season, but we recommend stocking all sizes — especially larger tubes for injured or sick juveniles and adults needing supportive nutrition.

Both discounts apply automatically at checkout and stack on eligible orders.

Let’s get ahead of baby season and continue the mission that matters most:

Helping wildlife get the second chance they deserve.

We aren’t quite sure what is going on with Henry’s Pets, but we certainly are sorry to hear the recent news.

Rest assured, you can purchase tubes, and Purple Possum gear directly from

I just wanted to drop a quick note to all of our wonderful rehabbers, to thank you for all your support over the last 7 years. Facebook has recently declared we violate TOS and is no longer recommending our page to anyone. Rest assured, we have stocked up for baby season and all sizes are currently in stock. Much love!

*** international customers

PLEASE be aware of your country’s import fees when you purchase from out of your country. I cannot tell you how much those are going to amount to from my end.

As a small company we are not required to have a broker. Our orders do not come close to the amount to require one. I apologize for the inconvenience. I use USPS whenever possible. UPS is more expensive when it comes to fees. During hurricane Helene UPS was the only option available.

If this continues to be problematic we may have to be limited to US shipping only.

The prices low for rehabbers, we cannot be responsible for your import fees.
