Do possums make good pets?
If you get them very young. We raised a litter of possums nearly from
birth and they were surprisingly fun creatures. A couple did wild up,
though, but one of them is still at one of the local wildlife sanctuaries
where he is old, fat, sassy, and loves being fed and patted.
Possums' reputation for ferocity is actually largely undeserved. We've
dealt with many wild possums and they are pretty much inoffensive, even
though they put up a huge show and bare lots of teeth which they never
use. Admittedly I come from a veterinary family, so we're used to wild
animals.
