Opossum and Skunk Get a Wheel! 

Omg, her safety blanket, I'm crying

Note: "Opossums eat up to 5000 ticks a season." Me: "Somebody please flood the world with opossums!"

They make self-groomers for cats (basically stiff brushes that you can attach to walls or furniture so the cats can rub on them) that are good for cats missing hind legs. Maybe Ophelia would like one?

Thx for providing a home to a three legged, injured opossum. It is so sad that so many people devalue these creatures. Same for the skunk. Much love and respect.

Years ago I saw a lady with a rescued opossum who was educating people that an opossum killed on the road could have babies in her pouch and ever since I told my husband about it he has stopped and checked many opossums.

Ophelia is precious, I love her so much 😭

I have an adorable mental image of Huckleberry waddling on that thing with a branch in tow

*Opossums Rock!*

Ophelia, I know how she feels. I'm gimpy, enjoy food, and my mum passed on as well. We'll keep trying, we fall off the wheel, have a snack, then get right back on the whirring wheel of life! 🌹🌺

Skunks are absolutely precious. Last year a couple of skunks decided to start a family in my backyard, so I got to watch the babies grow up over the summer.

When I moved to the USA and saw my first opossum I almost thought it was someone's escaped pet of some sort. It came right up to me begging for food. I work at a wildlife sanctuary and rehab, and we have quite a few of them, but our ambassador is named Bob and my ambassador raccoon is named Hank.

Never seen an unangry opossum, pretty cute when they aren't freaked out!

Ophelia looking back at the blanket like "But my safety blanket tho. . ."

It says in the trouble shooting section of the instructions to that wheel- Switch to a square-shaped treat to cut down on dreaded "treat roll back" when using wheel.

The skunk is all like, "I want them all at once"

Jessi, I like how you don't force animals to do things they don't want to do.

Lollipop has the most beautiful tail 💖💖💖💖

I think that skunks are the prettiest little animals. Their faces are lovely.

The more I've learned about possums the more I love them. I feel like they have a bad rep. Skunks too. I love how much you care about all the animals in your life.

many people write off certain animals as "undesirable" like opossums to be eradicated etc; but like much"shamed life" life, they are very important to healthy ecosystems that benefits us.

How precious! I wish I could eat snacks when I’m on the treadmill too, but I probably won’t make any progress! I think they’ll be walking on that in no time with the positive reinforcements of the treats.

3:38 she's like "my blankey!"

Opossum and skunk on a wheel is the wholesome content I needed today haha. 💕So cute! Thanks Animal Wonders for sharing, and caring to these cuties. :)

I would be very currious to know, which animals know their names? which dont know their name but know when youre talking to them? my guinea pigs definitely dont know their names, but they know when youre talking to them because they can recognize the pig voice.

I love Ophelia with all of my heart. She is the cutest creature on earth.

so the best weapon against ticks is opossums.

Watching a skunk on a wheel get excited about treats and sitting in the sunshine on a cold winter day is exactly what my seasonal depression needs :)

Opossums are such sweet and beautiful creatures, I'm glad there are people who care for them so much

My cats had one of those wheels... they loved it so much they literally broke the base (cracked across the middle support). I bought them a new one that is a better quality wheel (and more expensive) that they barely use. :(

I actually thought the sound Mimi was making in the background was just some neighbor making noises lol

I grew up with a pet skunk. Lollipop reminds me so much of Hershey, except he was brown and cream. So smart and food-motivated.

Would Chili Pepper like the wheel? I am besotted by Lollipop, she is such a beautiful animal. Living in the UK means I have no idea (and no wish to learn!) what skunk spray smells like so I have no bias against skunks. Ophelia is a sweetie. I love seeing her wrap her tail around your wrist

I think seraphina might love running on the wheel!

Ahhhhhh, my two favorite animals in one video. Also the wheel is so important for health. I think I will buy another!!

I am so here for this! My hamster got her new wheel in the mail today! I ordered a Chin-Sprint wheel for my mischief of rats today too.

You're very kind that you cared for Ophelia and gave her loads of treats and love.

Thanks. Those are some cute animals. You are a good therapist and caretaker. All animals deserve respect.

You know the special needs of your animals and are so accommodating to their emotional needs as well. Love how you work.

Would Chili Pepper like it? I think the foxes would enjoy exploring it but maybe not running on it, hehe... I've been intrigued by those great big wheels for a long time. It's much, much quieter than I would've thought! Ophelia has just the most charming little face though! I never thought of opossums as being particularly expressive but she sure is. She looked so concerned at first, it was precious

I hope they get to like useing the wheel! A lot of people may not realise, but these are a great tool for high energy cats like manx and bangles and savs! Cats ARE trainable. You just have to know how to work with them.

Adorable Skunk and Opossum are eating snacks on the wheel and thinking "Ah'm workin' out!"

This is a dream job, what a wonderful little girl she is. This channel is so wholesome and important. Thank you for your heart ❤️

OMG the skunk is so fluffy!!! I wish I could pet her!

yeeees, we asked for more opposum content and we got more

I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THE SKUNK. It acts like my sheltie, (Ringo). Give me treat I will walk for it, then everything is just for fun.

Such an interesting idea! I never would have thought of it, also Ophelia is super cute!

I love Ofelia's lip smacking it is adorable!

They are so cute! Good job! As she's handed treats and still on her blanket! Hahahaha! The skunk just goes in the bowl! Too precious!

My daughter and I love your videos. It's so easy to tell how much you love these animals.

TWO OF THE CUTEST TYPES OF ANIMALS EVER

It’s so nice to see captive opossums that aren’t obese. So many of the ones you see on Instagram or Facebook are so fat.

Great video! 💜 When I was a kid, I kept a small river turtle here in the central valley of Mexico. She was about 15 cm long. I liked to get her to walk about in the house, but she always tried to get under or behind furniture, so I got her a big pet sphere. It was like a hamster sphere but about twice as big. I think they said it was for ferrets or something. Anyway she walked around in it and was happy and safe.

What? You got a stargate? … Luckiest opossum in the universe :-O :-D Just for fun we should send the skunk to the Asgard :->

They’re both so stinking adorable 😍 😭

I kinda would love to see a tortoise's reaction because I have one myself. I wonder if they would even care about the wheel moving a bit if there is lettuce within reach 😄🐢

they both did so well ;_;

It took a while but I now can't deny that opossums are fairly cute animals.

Such snouts!

Ophelia... Such a great name for a sweet little girl.

Jessi, you were PAWS-itively put on this Earth to do this job! I have lived on farms and been around farm people and animal folks all of my life. I have never seen a better animal trainer/animal carer than you! I've seen and met even animal communicators! YOU have no need for "communication". You have ALL the communication you and the animals need! It is all non verbal but EXTREMELY effective and spot on! The biggest requirement animal trainers have is patience. When it comes to patience Jessi, your cup runneth over! When it comes to affection, empathy & love, your cup runneth over! Also, you not only serve the animals that you perform hands-on care for! Your are serving the WORLDWIDE animal community! The people that come to watch your videos, they most certainly have animals in their life. By watching your simple and very sweet training sessions, they too use these methods with their animals!! It makes me feel so wonderful knowing that those animals are benefiting from YOUR instruction! Animals and the people that love them are SO lucky to have you there! IN THEIR HOMES!! I share a lot of your videos too! With friends from ALL over the world! ANY pet owner can benefit by watching! I'm 55 and I've trained animals all of my adult life, and I learn new things with every video! Thanks for ALL you do! AND...you are SO LOVED!

Lolly's greedy little treat cup grab was adorable.

This is so calming. I relate to Ophelia

You guys are the best. Caring for animals is the greatest calling. Top Mark's Animalwonders!💖🐼🦘👍😎🐨🐈🐯

I have not been appreciating my local opossums fully, 5000 ticks each is fabulous!

I am so proud of you, Ophelia!!! You’re doing so good!!

This is so cool! I would love an update later to see if they like using it on their own without the treats.

I've seen cats use these things, but hadn't thought other animals would enjoy it. Also, she moves quite well even without the leg.

Apparently, opossums are alot bigger than I realized.

I used to watch you when I was little this was my favorite video. You guys are my childhood ♥️

Go, Lollipop, go! I'm still not super enthusiastic about NA opossums but it's fun watching Ophelia explore.

Opossum’s are adorable

AAAHHH I love her so much!! And I'm so happy to see that she is in a nice and loving environment ❤

That looks oddly fun, I wanna run on the wheel too!

As someone who has recently become OBSESSED with opossums and now watch a lot of videos about them, this was such a treat 😭💕 And I adore Lollipop too!! 💕💕💕

oh look at that little baby she’s so cute i’m going to cry

Love opossums and that skunk really looks lovely too

Opossum and Skunk got a wheel! Now they just want to squeal. Riding all day, animals at play Imagine how tired they must feel!

LOVE the “pop-up video” style facts. More, more! ♥️

Those are some seriously cute critters

aww the poor little upossom she is so sweet. dont some ppl think theyre bad animals? they probably wouldnt bother to rescue one so its nice that even tho she doesnt have a leg she gets to have a good life

As an Australian, whenever I hear or read "Opossum" I can't help but think they must be a possum's Irish cousin "O'Possum"

Her little chompy sounds are so cute

Such a cute video!!! Creative way to get their exercise they miss out on in captivity, and fun to watch too :p

so adorable lollipop and ophelia are really good thank you for keeping them safe :):):):):)

I never understood why people hate opposums! Ophelia is so adorable 💕 I'm so happy she has a loving home

Wow! Lollipop looks incredibly soft!

Could you please provide a link where you purchased or got the wheel from? Thank you!

I love how eager Lollipop got.

Question: is the opossum's fur soft or brushy?

Ophelia is beautiful. I have a 3 legged cat - and yes the ear scratch is a daily must. LP maybe a track star someday.

What does a skunk's fur feel like? Is it soft like cats or course? Thank you for caring for these beautiful animals. Food motivation works with me too.

Opossums make much more sense as pets than dogs or cats (other than the short life expectancy.) The wild possums here are friendlier than most domestic cats, or even dogs.

Just gorgeous thanks for sharing 💕🌟

I was literally singing Ophelia scrolling and stopped on this video. Like what?!?

you are very good with animals. you take great care of them. you are a good person

I'd love to see some silly animals try it! Like a parrot or a turtle. It would be fun to see a bunch of unusual animals try it, even if it's not that useful for them.

She is just too precious!😍

This video was fantastic. Thank you for this.

Lollipop is good and does not stink because she does not spray!

Wow thanks, you take care of animals thanks.
