    They aren’t pests though. They actually help keep insect populations in check, and really have no offensive abilities. I’m so happy this lovely couple saved this little darling. It just helps to show the world that these creatures deserve love, respect, and kindness, just as every other creature trying to survive on this earth. Thank you for your kind hearts, and giving her a good life.

      They are Darling Animals whose only defense is to hiss or play dead and still humans malign them. All animals are worthy and valid under the sun and moon. Thank you for advocating for these wonderful creatures. They are delightful and loving and so darn cute. ❤

    We had Black Star and her babies. Nothing. I’m telling you NOTHING was allowed to be on what became known at the possum highway in my house. Nothing on shelves, nothing on counters, nothing on the edge of the tub because apparently EVERYTHING belongs in a cabinet, on the floor, in the toilet/sink/tub. 😩 All I can say is my home became way more organized than I ever thought it could be because Black Star would make sure nothing remained in the way of her possum highway. Speed bumps just are NOT allowed lol

    It makes me sad that people see opossums as pests; they're actually pretty helpful sometimes. They're effectively immune to both rabies _and_ lyme disease, and they eat the ticks that can cause some serious illnesses in people. They might get into garbage or gardens sometimes, but most wild animals are like that (raccoons, foxes, stray cats/dogs, rodents, etc.)

    • @renaissanceman5847

      the saddest part of keeping them as pets is their incredibly short life spans... in this case for this species is about 2 years in the wild but up to 4 in captivity

      It's actually very common in the US with smaller wildlife that have a good population size and aren't considered a threat to humans. "Let nature take it's course" type of approach. The designated facilities can only house and care for so many animals.

    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. Rest in peace little Peep.

    I'm not a fan of wild animals as pets _but_ in cases like this, when the animal has no experience in the wild because it required being rescued by humans to survive, if there is no procedure for releasing them in the wild, like most rescue organizations can do, I think the animal is where they'll be safest. She certainly looks happy there! There's probably nothing stopping her escaping if she really wanted to go. So I hope they have a long, happy and healthy life all together :D
