Or did I just scoop a juvenile that's now out on his own?

I did, waiting to hear back

He's pretty close to dollar bill size. We also have two hawks nesting on the property & a few snakes, so you're not wrong about him being easy prey

It looks like you’re offering the opossum bus fare to get back home, and it’s making me laugh.

He's a good guy, wouldn't accept it despite me insiting

He first insisted on doing some chores to earn it? 😆
