Opposssssums

[down_home]

A little bit ago as I was opening up the puter, I heard a racket on the porch. Dakota didn't even care. Medium sized Oposuum had eaten all the cat's food and was rattling around the bowl. He sullied up and hissed at me. I hit him with a hoe but not hard enough to hurt him.
Cute for a possum. If he will cooperate and go into the trap next time. Might entertain the idea of making a pet out of him. I had a Client that fed them every evening but they were still wild. They petted the things. Not putting my hands on anything wild without a firm grip. Had pet Raccoon and getting anywhere near him while eating might aw well been a bear.

We have lots of these nuisance 'possums in GA. Many end up as road kill.

You keep those things in your county Roy, we have enough. 🙂


I don't think I wold have one as a pet. Unless we found it VERY young, and it lived outside. They will always be wild, I have see racoons kept as "pets" but they never are tame enough to really be safe, I suspect these critters are the same.
