    The crazy thing is when a possum is domesticated they actually go through both a physical and mental change and are different from wild ones, they actually really become physically fluffier and cuter. No joke.

      I agree that diet must play a part in their appearance.
      Three years ago I started feeding our backyard wildlife. We live in the city and life can be pretty rough for the animals. Now the opossums and the skunks who come regularly look amazing. Thick, shiny fur. The skunk tails (the display of their health) are huge and gorgeous.
      Humans pamper their furry kids so they have optimal nutrition.

    Possums and Armadillos are irrationally hated and feared. But they both eat ticks by the dozen. Anything that eats ticks is a friend of mine. Also, they’re affectionate.

    It makes me so happy to see other people falling in love with these amazing creatures. We had rescued a tiny baby opossum two years ago during a hurricane. She wasn't able to be released so she became a very important member of our family. Her name was Peep. These animals are so loving full of personality. She slept in the bed with us, potty trained. Sadly we had to put her to sleep two months ago from medical complications. We have her ashes that stay above the spot where she slept in our bed. I never thought a opossum would steal our hearts and that we would truly feel a part of us was missing but she absolutely did. They are misunderstood animals and people have not been taught how amazing they are but the opposite. All animals deserve a chance, they deserve respect and as humans it's our responsibility to help the innocent animals have a chance at a successful life in wild or in some cases our homes.

      Thank You for sharing your (Love) story ❤. Sorry for your loss, it is incredible just how much an animal can impact our live’s, the bond between human’s and other species can be as strong yet different than to another human… maybe it’s their innocence or vulnerability? Or just the unconditional Love and joy they bring us. I am so interested in Opossum’s, they look and act adorable and inquisitive - sadly from what I’ve learnt they do have shorter life span’s that many other animal’s - probably shorter in the wild… you gave them a second chance at life and a life of security and the bond of family. I have saved the ashes of my cat who was incredibly unique and my companion for over 21 year’s - grateful for every day I had with him, he’ll be with me always.

      Sorry to hear about peep,
      I rescued one from inside its dead mothers pouch when I was a kid, it didn’t make it long but I learnt a lot about them,

    We adopted blind adult, long ago, who quickly became our sweet baby. He slept in our bed with our boa. We all got along great.
    Two nights ago one of our wild opossums leaned against my foot while eating for the first time. Normally, only the skunks do that. Very exciting.

    I rescued 2 baby opossums a week ago. No local shelters or rehabbers got back to me. They were attacked by a local cat. One didn't survive. The other one is doing better. However, I'm concerned it's already become too domesticated. At least to the point it may not know how to survive on its own. I've been looking for someone who has experience and may want one as a pet.
    If I lived alone, I would keep it, but my roommates wouldn't be too keen on it lol.

I have one that stays here. I bought a heated house for him. I didn't want him to frostbite his cute little ears and tail. He's not a pet, but he's not afraid of me. I think he knows I'm okay and he's safe here. He's been here since he was small. I wish I could post photos. I love to watch him eat. 😂
