A Possum as a pet?

[HumanShell]

Does anyone here know about having a Possum as a pet? There is a baby one sleeping on my patio, that I'm thinking about capturing. We have no clue how he got in the backyard. I'm thinking about having him tested for disease.

I don't think a Possum would make a very good domesticated animal. I knew someone who tried to keep a skunk for a pet and the damn thing turned on him.

You can always make a nice stew with it instead.

Go for it! Let us now how your rabies treatments come along. We actually have a wild one in the back yard that grew up there. Got in the house once when it was little about the size of one of our cats. Our cats have adopted it and one of them actually hangs out with the damn thing. Funniest shit was I was sitting in the living room watching a football game and this Possum just walks in looks at me and goes and sits under the futon and is just like hey..I can hang here. Needless to say my wife freaked. LOL!!!

I'm surprised your cats didn't try to kill it. My Jack Russell has a few possum kills under his belt.

It just kept curling up or playing dead...and when it would curl up they would do the same damn thing. Funny as shit.

Well, it's sleeping right now. It was climbing around on my iguana cage earlier. The cat and it don't mind each other. My Jack Russle wont stay away from the door. Hmm.

My Husky, Maleiki, loved Possums, thought they were the best toys ever to play with!!!

Somehow the possums viewed the experience differently..

I say go for it - but be warned of three things:
1) they aren't as good taking anal sex as they look
2) they aren't as good at oral sex as they look
3) nothing says white trash or redneck like having a pet opossum.

Imagine the fun at parties when you come into the room with your pet hanging by his tail wrapped around you wood...

While in college me and my roommates tried to catch the squirrels on campus.. we wanted to catch it and train it to steal sodas out of the soda machines...

The damn things are tough and fast.. we got one into a backpack but that was it, then we were scared to open the backpack back up..

If you have medical insurance, then keep it. If you don't stay away from it. Nothing worse than op bite Well maybe a shark bite. My pits had a hard time killing one that came around the house a couple of weeks ago. Their like Satanic cats when their mad

those are ugly.

My little weiner dogs have killed a couple. I though they would be tough animals, but my dogs never seem to get hurt. Could be the odds. 5 against 1.
