It wasn’t just a regular chocolate cake, vets said it was a Costco chocolate cake.

The opossum spent some time getting a diet reset with caregivers last week before she was released back into the wild.

The Nebraska opossum received so much attention that Nebraska Wildlife Rehab created a shirt for their “chocolate bandit” to help raise funds.
