User ID: 80146778 United States04/20/2021 06:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Give them cat food. I feed them on my porch every night. They don't live long - only 3-4 years so don't get too attached to them. Some people say they stink, honestly I don't smell anything but have only been as close as 3 feet away. Cats get along with them great too. One night I had a raccoon eating, and behind him was a possum and behind him was a cat. All in line waiting to eat and no fighting!

Everything User ID: 80195834 United States04/20/2021 06:57 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Saturday night 2 opossums got hit by a car or cars? I don't know if they were both hit by the same car or not. Quoting: TheGasMan II Anyway, the wife went to pick up our daughter yesterday from school and when they came back, our daughter saw 2 baby possums in the front yard, out by the road, just rambling around. She gathered them up and put them in a box. She wanted to keep them but I said no and had her take them into the woods behind our house. The wife went with her, and she says they went a couple hundred yards into the woods. The wife went to pick her up again today, and lo and behold, the same 2 possums are back out by the road, rambling around. I'm like, wtf?!?! Are they the same 2 or are these 2 different ones? They look the same, size wise and whatnot. While I was typing this thread, the wife spotted another one in the yard. So now we have 3. My daughter thinks it is sign from God that she was meant to care for these, lol. Maybe it is, idk. Has anyone ever raised a possum? I need help. https://imgur.com/a/5itVXxqPeople have them as pets now. Go look on YouTube the video of possums as pet are there. Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls! May we come though it victorious! |

About 15 years ago one of our dogs went after a possum in the yard. Wife was heartbroken, she thought the possum was dead. She got a shovel to bury him. After digging the hole, she went back to get the carcass and it was gone. I had to laugh when she told me. I told her he was just playing possum and she stated she did not know that. She’s not blonde by the way. |

That isn't true at all. Marsupials carry many diseases. In fact Armadillos are the only known mammalian carrier of Leprosy in North America. |
