      I kind of feel bad about trapping a possum In a cage and letting it sit for days in the sun. It died. I didn't want to stab it or poison it. So I let nature take it's course.

      That's one of the most cruel ways to kill something that there is. Poison or stabbing would have been more humane. I'd never advocate killing a healthy opossum, but if you are going to kill something, don't go with dehydration/starvation. That is ultimate suffering.

      She's probably been fed by humans. I used to find possums stealing the cat food I put outside for the feral cats. I made the mistake of walking right up to it thinking it was one of the cats and it turned around and growled at me with these glowing red eyes and I just ran for it, lol.

      Mz. Phatbaldkat How a momma possum got into the closet is one of the mysteries of life!
      I LOVE possums and have several in my backyard, and they are all different ages and sizes. I have a small wilderness in my backyard, and the possums are vigilant in keeping rats, mice, and insects away, or they get eaten! Possums can climb and smell a rat or mice nest, and eat them...they are scavengers, too and eat banana peels, and leftovers that are no longer edible by humans. They don’t carry rabies because their body temperature is too low...
      I am saddened that many ignorant people here in America, when they see a possum, will think that it is a cat sized rat, and out of fear will attack the poor possum! They have the most teeth of any mammal, and they don’t hesitate to his show their teeth. But they are, for the most part, very passive animals, and would rather play dead than to try and bite somebody... did you make cute pets, but their lifespan is only about four years, and that leads to the heartbreak of their passing into the hereafter.

    Here's some facts on our lovely opossums: Possums bluff and I mean a lot! They are shy, timid marsupials! last night I saved a young one from my dogs and he played dead for a good 45 minutes.. The longest I've ever seen a possum play dead, but they can actually play dead for more than an hour. Another fact about opossums is that they can use their tails to hang, but not very long because of their weight. So, it's false that opossums sleep hanging upside down with their tails. Possums are unlikely to carry rabies! They foam out of their mouth so they come off as an animal that carries it, to show other animals they have it and even humans, so humans and animals will stay away! Pretty cool right? They really aren't pests either. If you have one in your back yard, it's a GOOD sign! They eat cockroaches, snails and other pests! They are really good with keeping gardens clean from bugs that eat and munch on your plants! And they are also omnivores! I think these animals are so cool!

    My grandma had a doggy door in her house and a possum got in and went to the furthest rooms closet and set up home, my grandma was a hoarder of clothes and decorations so she didn't know for some time. I still wonder how they got in and out all the time undetected as the distance from closet to doggy door was quite far to sneak. Anyway they sure are interesting, and also North Americas only marsupial.

      mike zoyhofski like heck, man! They absolutely do bite. We live in an area with no wildlife rescues, so if something happens we save them ourselves. The babies bite HARD so I can’t even imagine what it feels like to be bit by the mother! We raised a pack of babies after we saw them on the side of the road on their dead mother who had been hit (not by us). If you have to get a hand near enough to them, they do bite out of fear. Needless to say, they had to be fed. So my hands had to be near them 😬. Needle-y little teeth on those babies, good bite pressure too. It felt like being bitten by one of those small yappy dogs, but these were far smaller but bit every bit as hard. They calmed down eventually but those first three days were painful ones even with gloves on. They didn’t understand that we were trying to help them. They swayed back and forth trying to look intimidating and hissing the whole time. Every time I reached for one to give it a bottle, it nailed me 😂
