No reason to not make it pretty just because it's for a wild animal! Eating good is often a big part of their recovery.

It's fun to see what food preferences they have. This momma opossum in particular was very fussy about her chicken and eggs, so it took a bit to figure out how to get her to eat properly. They totally have likes and dislikes for food just like we do.
