my pet possom

feeding my possom

[@vejentiletbedreliv3384]

I looove the sound he makes while he's chewing the cookie, you can almost smell how taisty it was!!! Soo cute!!! 👍😉😍

[@surg23]

I'm usually repulsed by people chewing with their mouth open, but this opossum chewing was like music to my ears. I feel like a biscuit now. :)

[@susangreene6105]

I would have cut the cookie into smaller pieces for him.

[@TreeAtmos.]

@@susangreene6105i would cut you into smaller pieces

[@beccam696]

​@@TreeAtmos.was there really any reason you had to say that??? It was simply a suggestion nothing more

[@barbarablue8469]

2 CUTE. Love them and we have plenty in our garden....they get fresh fruit and more

[@doddsino]

It's a damn shame they don't live very long. They seem like an awesome animal.

[@ergosumadrieyl2927]

I love his little hands! It's just like a human hand only furrier in the way that it moves. Like he balls it up and waves em around. So cute! I'm not weird, It's just his hands look like a little persons!

[@johnnybgoode62]

I luv you guys for being the people you are...the kindness you embody should serve as an example to others.

[@sasharaider]

Those little guys can eat just about anything lol so cute!

[@UnworthySubject]

Someone get the poor thing some water

[@hollyc4765]

Felipe Velazques haha, I know right..

[@carmelasilvestri4207]

So adorable. I feed the few opusums that come to my back yard at night.

[@FiestyCat86]

ahhh look at him nommin on a cookie with his little people hands. God I love possums, they are so freakin cute.

[@mariemischievous]

That opossum was like "I'll show you how to eat it!" Haha. So cute.

[@jimmyAndrewJamesShepherd]

Absolutely adorable little guy!

[@lavatube11]

What a little cutie-pie! Reminds me of my sister's boyfriend that always eats with his mouth open, LOL.

[@tara666420]

They must not have much sense of feeling in the hands because he missed a piece. He could smell it and knew it was there somewhere but kept standing on it. I thought he was saving a big piece for last but who knows. I guess I learned something new today,,, maybe. :)

[@NomNomNomNomNomCat]

You're right, I can't imagine how dry the little guy's throat is..

[@khanaokami360]

love the sound of happy noms. that adorbz face. much squee. im so jelly we dnt get em in the uk. xxx

[@AveryNoir]

*throws up*

[@slob5041]

I love how they're so happy and self assured

[@SPRINKLES222]

So freakin cute i love possums even though people hate them

[@davidbarchus328]

What a sweetie pie

[@ampuga475]

You should feed him espilac which is a puppy replacement milk and you can add a little whipping cream to it every 2-3 hours. After a while when he can lap they can be fed plain yogurt and baby food plus the formula. This diet came from a wildlife rehaber whose favorite animal is the opossum and has raised over 100 babies! I have a little guy now he has been traveling around with me wherever I go in a purse with blankets or in my shirt and no one knows i have him.

[@helloprettypie]

Oh my goodness! Sooooooooooooo cute! I want one!

[@Msmakeupfaye]

been seeing raccoon and opossum videos all day now i want one haha

[@owlcity101ful]

That was so cute. :)

[@jaymepowell2428]

Oh my gawwwwd, sweetest face ever😻 I would be running around the house like "let me love yeeeew adorable possum. I just wanna hold you forever sweet possum🤗. Lemme paint your tiny toenails pink lil possum🐾".

[@johndouglass3691]

Om nom nom...the sound of a happy little opossum.

[@Graphite53]

It's also about the ability of the owner to raise them properly and safely. Domesticated cats and dogs are culturally ingrained, and have been selectively bred for a safer temperament. I think some non-traditional animals have been given pet status though, like skunks. Not all individuals of the same species act the same. Raccoon seem very hit and miss with behavior. I know a girl whose aunt was a baby when a raccoon was brought into the house and it tried to eat her.

[@DorofromKs]

Everything tastes better on a Ritz! Cute.

[@godfather72799]

Good to see her. Thanks for the video of her.

[@antonioflores317]

I'm usually see possums and think "disgusting fuck!" .. But this ones actually pretty chill.

[@dee2222364]

I never knew how slow these guys ate

[@jovyjergens431]

I don't think there is an animal alive that is not ultimately lovable!

[@jeffthebot7551]

tape worms

[@gigglyfitzgirl]

[@jc10036]

Soooo adorable.

[@strikelist]

lol It's cute the way it eats so loudly. NOMNOMNOMNOM

[@The_Gallowglass]

They're adorable, except when angry. On the other hand, let's face it, what creature (including humans) is adorable when angry?

[@tarajo348]

Omgosh, this makes me want a possum! Where's my trap?! 😂

[@Rob-147]

I can watch opossums eating for hours

[@DarkMountainWolf]

[@yukowolfang8645]

Jake Basile thank you so much for replying, I was looking all over for this video again and was only to find it because of the notification I got lol

[@antonb000]

possums, the hobos of the animal world lol

[@HattieLovesCattie]

Cute little possum living in a mansion.:)

[@hammieinvestigations5392]

so cute and noisy!! Love it.

[@chalychepa2774]

Vraiment trop mignon 😍😍😍

[@SmittyKat]

Yup, I know. And I agree. But no one ever said laws made sense. I think it was because people were capturing wild animals and keeping them as pets for fun. Then when they saw the animal wasn't as "fun" as they thought they abandoned them and left them to die. I think in a left handed way the law was made to protect animals, but it's kind of a weird way of going about it. Oh well. I live in a very rural area though so I'll keep a wild animal if I gee dee want to! lol

[@oozyb1]

He makes alot of noise, very cute

[@Darthbelal]

You mean that someone got past the stereotype and saw a possum for what it really is? Possums are docile and, if you leave them alone, harmless. They RARELY carry rabies. Some people DO keep them, but you have to be a dedicated person to be able to cope with a possum's needs.

[@ericstoddard3066]

Found the first one sleeping in my bed next to me yesterday morning

[@marleyex2695]

I want one😕 It's little hands are soooooo cute💗

[@aizoid4735]

Im sorry for your loss. I hope it lived a long and happy life before it rested

[@jonrowe150]

Thank you she did. she was a good one.

[@TheManiacalSatanist6]

Possums are one of the easiest pets to keep simply because they eat all the same shit you eat.

[@lizqueen]

adorable!

[@mimiluvcat7036]

They chew so cute little (crunch crunch ) sounds

[@erikamartinez8403]

He or she so cute

[@KristenAW22]

oh my god... I want one! so cute :D

[@furrybabysh5345]

opossums are cute.. they have pouches for their babies like kangaroos.

[@Rowej6]

That's Awesome

[@crisaguiar2063]

so cute your possum.

[@PlanetRockJesus]

Mmmm... Ritz hydrogenated oils. Probably made the opossum's expected 3 to 4 years more like 2 years.

[@mjjqueen9]

Omg i love this lol close your mouth when chewing silly lol

[@Graphite53]

I am making educated guesses, though. There may be other reasons for these laws. Personally, there are species that I think can be pets. I would love to raise sparrows. Most of the sparrows in the states are native to the US, so technically you can't legally raise them I think. But truthfully, I think successful owners will not be bothered by the police, because they will never find out except for dangerous, unhappy, or endangered pets. It does mean you can't take them to the vet though.

[@mainlinesin2]

I love possoms! =^D

[@PhunkieZero]

So cute ^_^

[@Peter_Tissot]

your cat is funny

[@Here_This]

🥰🤗

[@SixteenTonesStudio]

like Red Skelton's Freddy the Freeloader: he's a little bit of you, a little bit of me, a little bit of all of us. He doesn't ask anybody to provide for him, because it would be taking away from you, nor does he ask for equal rights if it would give up some of yours.

[@msblue1003]

I never see possums drinking

[@denisesilva9735]

Que lindo

[@HowAmIAPotato]

quite a strange breed of cat, looks cute nonetheless :D

[@Graphite53]

Some laws about owning wildlife are specifically to protect the native species from trafficking and the like. For instance, you cannot own native song birds in the USA, including native crows. You can own an African crow I believe. With these laws, it is much easier to make a blanket law about all wildlife or all native wildlife than to pick and choose species. Thus the opossum is included.

[@yaeli1967]

I have 'bout the same table manners ;-)

[@Emilysorvillo]

looks pretty real to me !

[@susangreene6105]

Feed this baby something he don't have to work so hard to eat, water him too while you're at it

[@mazuher1557]

Me after work i be so hungry 😂😂😂😂😙😙😙😙

[@tomgordebeke]

Wow so cute , i wanna have one !!! but my country we don't have it :(

[@Graphite53]

Yes, but it's impossible to consider the wild species individually: thus a blanket law. While animals not needing protection will be included, it would be worse for species to not have protection from trafficking when it's needed, due to unaware law makers. Removal of endangered animals(often popular exotic pets)has an impact on both individuals and wild breeding populations. Also, temperament is diverse and harder rear than domestic species: a blanket law protect them from inexperienced owners.

[@MortishaPoppins]

since opossums are omnivores it is easy to give them the proper diet for their species.....not too much protein is essential for proper bone development....... they love cockroaches or dubia roaches, meal worms, overripe fruit, applesauce, eggs raw or cooked, lots of water, occasional fruit juice, fish, crawdads, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, bananas etc........ Don't give them dairy and only a small percentage of their diet should be meat...

[@TlalocChak]

cute little animal. where did you get it?

[@TenouHaruka0]

Lmao *plays the Price is Right failure tune*

[@TheCatholicFaithfu]

lovely. :)

[@homerjigmee]

cute

[@dayanp9772]

he is already sooo cute. He is even cuter when he does it all the wrong way. LOL..♡♡♡

[@ericstoddard3066]

I have found a total of 3 baby possum's in my house in the last 2 days, they are cool but I have no idea what to do with them

[@EdTheBadass]

and yet they are slow and unresponsive :/ Raccoons are by far more interesting, though they are destructive as hell.

[@Fleefles]

I think it's just easier to blanket ban things than to regulate them. If we're going to ban animals from being kept as pets for their safety, then we should have outlawed dogs and cats a long time ago since they're abused more than any other pet, and the amount of unwanted ones in the shelters shows they're unsuitable pets for millions of people.

[@610otaku]

yo, i doubt that the guy has a single digit IQ

[@TheLilFid]

Classe

[@Sarannefolkerts]

so are they like vegaterians? Or just only when you pet them.

[@perenti666]

damn i want one too :( but no chance to get one where i live ...

[@WoWGirl6]

they're cute, but the only thing that bothers me is when they open their mouths so wide, it's so creepy looking haha. where did you guys get yours?

[@4Frmcfff]

They related to cats

[@sharonjowers3654]

I found one. It kept coming to my bedroom window and we gave it food. We left the window open and it came in. I can hold it and it likes to be held close. I was told that they have to be on a special diet or they will get metabolic bone disease. I can not seem to find out what the proper diet is. I was told it could get sick from stress. When I put it down, it makes a mean hiss at me and growls, so I have to pick it up and it is happy again. I wanted to keep it, but can not find out everything I need to know. It is a baby. I guess I will have to let it go and hope it can survive.

[@teresadecker6966]

Sharon Jowers I just read they eat ripened fruit U grapes, and slugs and crickets... check the web

[@sharonjowers3654]

I did and also joined some Facebook groups and learned a lot. She has grown and is doing great. Thanks for the info.

[@preferredduck1]

They are calcium deficient so they eat the boles of dead things too.

[@preferredduck1]

+preferredduck1 bones

[@sharonjowers3654]

I decided to keep her for awhile and she actually mellowed out and got big pretty quick. I ended up turning her into a rehabber. She needed to be treated for a infection she got. Her feces was horrible for my COPD. It smelt strong. I do miss her and I loved the experience with her. I would take in another baby if it ever showed up again. It was my first experience, but it was so awesome. Very cute baby you have.

[@MrPrestige350]

where did he get those cool fingerless gloves??? =}

[@Elizahmations]

lol he smacks loud XD
