James Michaels Please check out my opossum youtube videos, plus feral cats and raccoons. I have a set up of 5 shelters on my back porch, for the wild life.

[@matheuspires2462]

Just like rats

[@whalesong999]

Rare to see, 100% pure possum love!! I've had similar affection even from ones taken briefly from the wild that needed a good bath to rid of parasites and when drying them off, they'd reach over and give me what appeared to be kisses of appreciation, even after a tumultuous 20 minute bath. Thanks for posting this kind relationship!

[@robbynrogers9422]

We have a possum we found as a baby and now she’s our favorite pet, they are absolutely the most precious pet you could possibly own♥️ so sweet and lovely!!!

[@gwendolynnguyen3028]

Might I ask if your possum is litter trained? Do you let her roam around the house or is she caged unless you take her out?

[@reign6of6e6terror]

Possums get sick in captivity 😔

[@koreyb]

@@reign6of6e6terror No. They live longer in captivity than they do in the wild as long as you feed them the right foods and socialize with them. We don't keep ours in a cage at all.

[@eightcoins4401]

@@reign6of6e6terror While i agree they shouldnt be kept as traditional pet , if its a non releasable rescue it is acceptable

How sweet, i had one as a pet years ago. He was potty trained in a kitty litter box. I miss him so much.

[@saltytsp]

miss mine also... he used to walk down the block with me with no leash, his kitty litter was pine shavings and couldnt make him bite me. Lots of eskimo kisses and nibbled his cheeks all the time LOL He live for about 3 years and 9 months. He was a special rat

Now, that opossum loves you. I can tell by the marking behavior and the copious amount of slobber! My guy Smacky used to go around the house and do that to the furniture. You have been claimed.

I guess that is better than marking with pee.

It's how they show affection. Kinda wierd, but cute. They drool on you and lick you and rub their cheeks on you. It spreads their scent, just like cats, but wetter.

Aww so cute. I recently found out that Possums eat poisonous snakes. I feed a wild possum every night now that's in my backyard. I rather him be around than snakes.

[@coolnvigilantoutreach9418]

Both snakes and opossums are very good for the environment

[@cleppy1311]

Idk why but opossums looks like a mice but acts like a dog for some reason @_@

[@3642130]

To me they look like little German Shepherds! Or a German Shepherd crossed with a house lion(kitty cat). Looks like they may mark their pet humans with their tears, just like mighty house lions do.

[@brantbiggs3660]

I used to think they were nasty big rat-like creatures, but seeing all these videos makes me realize how cute and different and cool they are..I'd love one but the short lifespan is just too intimidating for me, sadly. Knowing you have 10+ years with a dog is bad enough, but 4 years tops, I couldn't do it

[@martywhitevan]

rats need love too

[@reign6of6e6terror]

Give him the best place , enough freedom of movement & a good and healthy life for just 3 years ,when it die than you must not to be so sad. Its not your fault that her life is so short

[@mister8800]

Brant Biggs - Wouldn't you like to give a unique pet like this the best 4 years that it can possibly have? Btw, I've heard they can live up to seven years if healthy.

[@ct92404]

WOW...I never, ever imagined in my life that I would have seen a "cute" possum! I saw your other video where you were petting and scratching the possum, and I just can't believe what I'm seeing! I don't know how in the world you were able to tame it and get it to be so friendly! I never saw a possum yawn before! And you even "kick started" it, when you were scratching his head, like how a dog kicks its leg!! Amazing!

[@HidekiShinichi]

ct92404 actually possums are gentle idiot chickens that just hiss a lot and nothing more. they are quite easy to tame and rats or even chickens are more aggresive than them

[@bumpy9024]

[@danbillington]

Aw I love how she kisses your arm to say hello!

[@janglur]

I have one right now and can say, yes! They carry thing in their tail, and know very well how to use their opposeable thumbs. They're also very timid, and can be rather clever in their ways to both escape their cages, and in the way they hide. Pollo (mine) got out and I couldn't find him anywhere. Went to bed and when I woke up, went to get socks. Pulled out the sock drawer and there a little opossum was! He'd built a sock-fort. =D

We've two rescue possums that have taken residence in a bathroom drawer. It was their choice I suppose due to the dark confines, they're happy as clams and enjoy their daily grapes

[@thewild4524]

sand 007 how are they? I cant have possums because of my dogs, but I think they are cool

[@sand0077]

Pookie and Pepper, they're doing just fine, thank you! Still in the drawer snuggling up to each other and quiet as can be. In the seven months we've had them we've yet to hear them make a sound. They're clean, use a litter box and always groom after a meal. Speaking of which, they love Costco's canned chicken breast, grapes, dry cat food mixed with crushed egg shell, freeze dried crickets and grasshoppers, vitamin D periodically and dates. Quite the extensive diet! I've built them a larger shelf below the drawer should they require more space and a wooden ramp was just completed making access easier.

[@thecatmeow757]

your possum is like: *Lick roll Lick roll lick lick roll*

[@potawatomi100]

Very sweet.

[@motel29]

Ok , I'm just beginning to try to learn about these creatures. Mainly, because I see them more and more. Usually around the trash bin and sometimes in the food we put out for the other guys. I'm not generally freaked out about them ,they mostly run away..but I have had a few do that hiss, fangs bared deal..which can be a little unsettling at night. But I think I heard here that they are North America's only marsupial? I did not know that.

[@zoldilox2412]

motel29 Opossums are not aggresive they are meant to look intimidating they re pretty cool creatures but heard they only live 6 or 3 yrs as pets

[@lydiashultz1716]

They’re all bark and no bite. They show their teeth to scare you but an opossum will only bite someone out of complete necessity to get away from danger

[@SeraphSeph]

They're complete pussies. Just ignore them.

[@clashmovator6130]

They very rarely bite. You can (though I don't recommend doing this with a wild one) practically put your hand between its jaws while it's hissing and trying to look scary and it won't bite you.

[@rickscroggins5852]

motel29, They hiss because they have horrible eye sight, if you didn't know.

There was one little guy who impressed my Irish boyfriend so much, back in the day, that he named the baby "Jamie O'Possum". The young man, formerly not much of an animal lover, was converted into an animal-fanatic by our dear little friend-with-a-tail !!! Possums (& O'Possums!!!) deserve all the love and support we can give them.
