Opossum Hospitalized After Consuming Entire Cake

In an amusing incident in Nebraska, a Virginia opossum became ill after consuming an entire Costco chocolate cake, leading to her admission at Nebraska Wildlife Rehab. Real estate agent Kim Doggett discovered the opossum, affectionately dubbed the 'Cake Bandit,' lounging on her patio, covered in chocolate. Concerned for the opossum's health due to chocolate's toxicity to many animals, Doggett contacted wildlife authorities for assistance. The opossum is now recovering on a strict no-chocolate diet, with the rehab center humorously noting her crankiness about the restrictions. The incident has garnered significant attention online, prompting the creation of a fundraising shirt to support wildlife rehabilitation efforts. The 'Cake Bandit' is expected to return to the wild once fully recovered, as the community rallies around her story.
