Baby opossum eating a grape

This little opossum is between three and four months old. She arrived as a very tiny, very late season orphan about two months ago and is too small to be released this year. She'll be overwintered and released in the spring. As you can see, opossum table manners include picking things up with your fingers and chewing with your mouth wide open.

opossums are ridiculous little goblins and I love them with all my heart

[@toxophilite6804]

Sweet little fur baby. Hugs and kisses💞

[@LINQ0311]

This is clearly the tastiest grape that has ever been eaten.

[@GonzoLuvsYaoi]

i used to had a opposum about that age..he hated the grape skin so i had to peel it before i gave it to him otherwise he wouldn't eat it. he always rode our poodle...and she didnt mind him at all

[@AhNee]

I started a meme called 'Privileged 'Possum'. Mine won't eat just any yogurt, it has to be VANILLA ONLY. Chicken breast must be sauteed first, but beef must be raw. Picky. Picky. Picky.

Thank you & God bless for the cute story!

[@opossumguyworld4487]

That is actually the most adorable thing I've read all day

[@ladyraven3418]

@@AhNee Considering they eat literal garbage in the wild, this is a silly thing for an opossum/possum to do! Then again, our dogs will literally eat poo, but are picky about their meals. (No dry food only, must have premium wet food etc.)

[@KingOsmium]

I'm sure he was having a very grape day.

[@preddy09]

You have no grapettitude for the English language

[@justicebeske5704]

This opossum literally made the act of eating entertaining. That’s a fascinating skill.

[@MephistoOrb]

[@LittleLulubee]

[@willedelman7960]

They ugly up when they get big.

[@sandybell2743]

That is the cutest animal I've ever seen!!!

[@raisinmydog]

i expected her to pick it up and nibble at it like a rat would. then she shoves the whole thing into her tiny face! aw! that has got to be the cutest thing ever.

[@TripleKmafia]

One of the very few creatures that looks adorable eating with its mouth open.

[@LadyMaria]

Such a cute fuzzy baby! 😻 I love how s/he holds the grape and the eating sounds!

[@themeanestkitten]

They can hold things? AAAAHHH! It's so cute😊

[@99PowerNation99]

Awww I love the way he’s eating the grape

[@MyLittlePwnyta]

Aww, she looks like she's wearing fingerless gloves!

A friend of mine rescues orphaned opossums too. She just adores them, she says they are very cute and funny

[@KittChiWolf]

Omg!! I love opossums! They are my favourite animals in the world!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kilpatrickenator]

ok... I *guess* I can admit to possums being cute now.

[@SpottedIeaf1]

Its so small. And fluffy. I want to hold it ;w;

[@fallenangelCOBHC]

aww this is soo cute!! look at her wittle paws :D

[@giausjulius4]

Everything is cuter as a baby. I sometimes wish pets looked that way forever.

[@fromlaurenwithlove]

If there's one thing an opossum hasn't got, it's table manners.

[@robynberkowitz4504]

I love when they hold the food in their hands (paws)

[@clare5one]

CUTENESS OVERLOAD💖

[@myqueenimagivemydumassopin6841]

I love to see them eat...I love to see their little mouths move ...so funny. 😂😂😂🤣🤣

[@Luna810]

I love opossums! They are so cute! I get excited when one comes to eat the cat food that I put out for feral cats.

[@barbarabillenness4292]

So freaking cute!!

[@MakoRuu]

This melted my heart.. I want a pet opossum..

[@SuperMatthew345]

Opossums seem very keen on eating things whole!

[@billytruth6444]

Aww she loved that grape, and then she looked all around for more at the end. Hope you gave her another one!?

[@Profile__1]

They look like little gremlins when they eat. They're such interesting creatures, both in behavior and in appearance.

[@johndugbryan]

I,m so glad that animal lovers put these youtube videos on-they're the best!

[@Colstonewall]

Me too. I just wish everyone was an animal lover, and cared for all animals whether or not they like that particular animal. . .I know people who absolutely hate Opossums and will kill them just for being a Possum. Not to mention snakes and other reptiles. I really, really don't like snakes, but they have just as much right to live as I do as far as I'm concerned.

[@UnluckyGambler]

videos like this just always make me smile ;]

[@halfpup]

i love when he takes it out of his mouth with the one hand lol

[@xxreilipompomxx]

omg! he/she is so cute :) he can barely eat the grape he's so small :)

[@melodiefrances3898]

SOOOOOO cute. When you're that cute you don't have to bother with manners...

[@Lmserbyn]

So precious and misunderstood. I saved a baby who was attacked and she's healing and gaining weight but may have permanent nerve damage in her front paws. Please pray everyone.

[@DarkZoroark]

Is she okay? :(

[@maddiesgamingchannel8163]

Yep, they are all big babies at heart. They are one of the most passive animals in the wild and are very misunderstood.

[@DarkZoroark]

Demon50 I was sitting outside one night and one walked right past me and didn't even growl or anything. They are sweet.

[@NaiveObserver]

she is such a cutie! its great you are taking care of these beautiful animals :))

[@AmericanCrusader222]

Leaving a comment so KZbin knows what kind of content I’m lookin for

[@TanyaQueen182]

those cute ears and little stars for front paws. love them.

[@kittywampusdrums4963]

I love their little hands :-3

[@XSteamieX]

"Close your mouth when eating" :D Omg what a cute one ;O

[@IamKoishiKomeiji]

AwW babY •^•!!!💕 The way they are eating the grape is too precious, they look so happy 😭

[@EphemeralProductions]

It is cute! She is cute in her own way. :)

[@crazedthoughts]

I was sent here after seeing a wolf spider covered in baby wolf spiders. I feel better now.

[@Themanfromdk]

cant stop giggling when seeing its eating with the mouth wide open =3 Cutie! Yes you are, YES you are!!

[@Drownthecityy]

man, hes tearing UP that grape xD its so adorable ;-;

[@user-my9bk2jd6b]

Finding this video is the best thing that's happened to me all week, and its Friday.

[@kevluv93]

I think the cuteness just exploded my brain...

[@winko567]

awww sooo cute! am I the only one who thought of heather from over the hedge? :D

[@microiguana]

hmmm, i predict that I will watch this video seventeen times per day for the next eight years.

[@donpalanqueto5952]

I really like this video, the little guy seems so polite

[@shorttelove03]

the only time i would ever have thought of a opossum as cute is in this video!

[@plissabarrett7358]

Adorable ❤️

[@sillyrudolph]

They look like they're wearing tiny gloves ;-;

[@TaiLNeT]

It's so hard for me when the time comes to release animals back into the wild :(.. I grow attached too easily

[@Mk-7again]

I know! 🥺

[@Motoko1134]

just have to remember thats where they belong and are happiest. home is home.

[@clintonflynn815]

Cutest cat I've ever seen.

[@SammichSideshow]

Cuteness overload!! SQUEEEEEEEEEE-BOOM!

[@kitteh98]

i just died from how cute the little opossum is *o*

[@chronic124]

Opossums are very cool, I work with animals and they are probably the easiest wild animal out there to tame if raised from when they are babies and handled/pet regularly.

[@Kilonoid]

aww... they are actually cute as babies

[@robin2012ism]

I'm back for more. I love this so much

[@mayaloftin7499]

So cute 😊

[@preddy09]

For comparison fun , that's like a human picking up medium watermelon , minus rind removal time, eating it in 45 seconds, then looking around like you want more.

[@deliciousgroove]

That is ADORABLE.

[@agent136]

Dude that grape is so big compared to the possum. Can you imagine eating a grape the size of a football? lmao

[@jayarawilson]

Cute!! Look at the way the possum is eating it!! Yum! Yum! then at the end, it looks for more!! lol!

[@melissawean7631]

Too cute!!! ♥️💫

[@Kindlesmith70]

mmm nom nom nom. this cute critter makes grapes look even tastier

[@edgardotejada8040]

Gorgeous! I have one; a Pamamanian Didelphis marsupialis, Common or Southern Opossum; since 2 inches long, now She's 9 months, I love her, best pet I've ever had

The sound it makes when it eats a grape sounds cool lol

i had a friend who kept his pet opossum in his bathroom... he was actually really friendly. just like a dog

[@dorian2112]

[@vintage6346]

14 years ago? RIP cute little baby opossum. I hope you had babies.

[@OneAndOnlyMandyRose]

How is it that, no matter what they are or what they're doing, baby animals are so adorable?

[@gfyourself]

...that's.. that's just... well. they look NOTHING like they do when they're full grown. that was adorable.

[@kahaki]

hehehe. what a precious little girl. Look at those adorable little hands.

[@jackwilliamtaylor5656]

Fun fact: this is actually why they say you’re not supposed to feed your kids uncut grapes: it’s cause they’re all for him.

[@LpsAshh]

if i had him id name him smacky

[@halffox102]

the best defense, being extremely cute

[@sbaker04181]

nomnomnom...they make the cutest noise :]

[@fuckinantipope5511]

Opossums are the only reason I wanna visit the US one day. We sadly don't have these amazing critters in germany or rather all of europe :(

[@willconwayjr5874]

I think it's funny that it eats like Guy Fieri.

[@MsKaylee100]
