Iggy the first encounter

One of our first encounters with an animal we have come to know as Iggy. He is a wild animal they are not always as calm as the seem, caution should be taken any time one deals with a wild animal because you nevr know when they can flip out and then tear your hand up or worse! Please do not try this with any wild animal. If you choose to try this do it at your own risk!

Cute little things, aren't they? One of them came into my camp in VA a few months back. I didn't give him anything, and went & hung my food bag. Came back & found he chewed some holes in my tent & rummaged through some things. Yep, they're cute alright.

LOL, yeah they can make a mess of things that is for sure! I have another friend who is camera shy, every time I pull out the camera even to snap a pic he runs off. My family and I named him Jimmy, he's a opposum that we feed and I have even been able to get close enough to him to scratch behind his ears and pet on him. Turns out to be a great listener as well! LOL

how precious! I guess as long as you keep feeding him and he doesn't bring friends or family you should be fine haha

I would eat that thing before it comes back one day rabid and messes you up good...
