My missus used to be a wildlife carer for many years, raising many orphaned
Brush-tails & more Crested Pigeons than you can poke a stick at.
Yes Possums can get mange, but it’s different to that which wombats get.
Mange in Brushies is a bacterial infection caused most often by infections &
stress.
Best course of action to contact ACT Wildlife whom can hopefully sort out or
steer you in the right direction. Their number is 0432300033.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Adam
