Use stoppers to SLOWLY feed them if they won't take a bottle, warmth is very impt. Don't force them to eat it they will aspirate and get it in their lungs. Try this, good luck 🍀, let me know how they do, I enjoyed mine.

The younger possums actually remind me of my dog Bandy sometimes.

Mattie at times with her attitude and the way she walked reminded me of a lion.

Awesome! I found one little survivor about 2 years ago, she (?) was missing the tip of her tail and had dried blood on her nose but was otherwise okay. I made a cozy little cage and kept her safe until I found a rehab qualified to help, thankfully I found one. I actually got to experience a little bond between us following the 4 weeks of care given, they are totally different from what I thought they would be like. I wish people would learn that they are NOT the "big ugly rats" that they are portrayed as, they are actually an essential part of our ecosystem.

[@seaneyerick]

Possums are my favorite animal and have been since I was just a kid in Socal. (Since 1986 I guess). Even as a kid I was always fascinated by these odd looking adorable critters who only came around at night and never wanted to be seen, never understanding why people thought they were “pests” when they never bothered anyone (besides eating our outdoor cats food). Cheers to you fiend, poor creatures have few allies, and Jesus. My heart melted how adorable they are.

@@gregpryorhomestead a mother opossum left her baby inside my enclosed back porch because I propped my door open for my cat to go in and out. My cat doesn't live in the porch I bring him inside before I go to bed. I basically keep the porch door open so he can get inside if it rains. I keep a bowl of food inside and a large female opossum has been coming to eat for a couple of years and left her baby behind. I have the baby in a huge dog crate right now. He does eat solid food. Right now he's been eating cat and dog food, apples, bananas and grapes. If I give him any bones should they be cooked or raw? My ex girlfriend kept an opossum for 6 years before it died. It was really sweet. Apparently 5 or 6 years is elderly for an opossum. The nearest wildlife rehabilitation center is 2 hours away and won't come to get him. Our local humane society would probably euthanize it. I don't wanna go that route.

[@carolynnunes3922]

Thank you for sharing this with us! I love possums, raccoons, and skunks, all of which are becoming urbanized because all the untouched range of countryside land and hills now have houses built or being built. The poor wildlife have been pushed out of the land. The building boom has ruined Orange County, California, and is still ongoing like crazy! Growing up it was rural farmland. Now it’s a big bustling megacity, and already the streets and freeways are jammed and have more cars than they can deal with. More and more lofts, “pack-n-stacks,” are now in every space available. But I digress... I have about 8 possums that stop by. All of various sizes. I’ve been thinking of becoming a baby possum carer...

[@ksol1460tv]

This has happened in Bloomington, Indiana also, which used to be such a nice town blending city and rural beauty. As they dug up the land to "develop it" with luxury condos and stupid shopping centers I saw marmots, possums, even deer that had got displaced. One thing I found out the marmots/groundhogs like is peanut butter sandwiches. Take two of those dish things you put under a plant pot, put the sandwich in one and cover it with the other one. Marmots are very smart. We had one who would come and eat half the sandwich, put the lid back on, come back and eat the rest later.

My fiancé and I are raising a baby possum from a baby. She got left behind by her mom in our garage. We’ve had her for a few months, and she’s doing great. She eats about everything, we make sure to feed her a wide variety of foods, she is the most amazing pet we have ever had. She is so nice.

Hello. I run an animal sanctuary and one of my biggest joys is rescuing baby possums. Sometime I don't want to set them free and because I love them soooo much I spoil them. I've worked with Raccoons before but you have to be very careful. The finger nails on some are like razor blades. Plus they have a oil on their coat that can really cause some nasty damage to your eyes, say if your working with them and you happen to rub your eyes with your fingers uh oh. This is a great video. Best of luck to you. Peace.

Great video. My wife is working on getting her license from the state (TX) to rehab wildlife. She has been working as a sub-permitee for several years now rehabbing opossums. We have a large cage for outdoors and frequently have babies on the enclosed porch. We take them from needing tube fed until release in the wild. These guys are very personable. If you have time and the passion, volunteer at a local wildlife rehabilitation center. There are lots of animals needing help. Also get to know your state laws relating to wildlife. Here in TX the Opossum is a protected species and you need permission to keep one while other places (CA) don't have that restriction.

TYSM for posting this video!! It's worth watching the entire video just to see the little one yawn at the end 😄 So cute!!❣️ I love possums now that I've taken the time to understand them. As a dog owner I'm actually grateful to have them around for the simple fact that they eat ticks which sounds kind of gross but it's nowhere near as gross as finding a tick(s) latched onto your skin or heaven forbid biting on your child. With tick-borne illness rapidly increasing we definitely need creatures to consume them! Everyone should start loving these guys. 😍

I just found a baby opossum in my back porch chilling with my kittens. It was eating the kitty food & drinking their water. I been seeing it wondering around at night the past week. Should I leave it some food every night or should I leave it be? Also it wasn't afraid of me.

[@mrsa1322]

leave it food! if u have veggies or fruits or chicken bones that u don't use for dinner u can feed them to the opossum (maybe boil bones first to b safe)

[@bunnybaby975]

幽☆遊☆白書 PLEASE do not cook the bones

[@ksol1460tv]

I put out grapes for my possum visitors, and any other fruit I happen to have around. Cat food now and then. I had one who was crazy about blueberries a few years ago.

[@q-_-p.d-_-b]

We had to trap/kill the pair of opossums visiting our chicken cages and eating the eggs. There were plenty of fruit trees /w fallen fruits (tangerines/persimmons) that they could've eaten from but nope. We kept seeing empty nest /w nothing left but cracked egg shells every night. RIP opossums. And no more broken eggshells afterwards. So if you or anyone within 5 miles of your house has chickens... it's best not to feed them.

[@toxophilite6804]

They need fresh water and a little food would be great. I have grown possums I've raised from mouse size with doll baby bottles. They are now fully grown and come at night and eat with my cats. I can still pet them.

Possums have so many benefits in the garden. Nice creatures that don't bother anyone---it's sad to see them feared and reviled. As one can see-- from the many rescue and 'I adopted a possum' type videos across the web---they're intelligent, playful, and can be very affectionate.
