23. Just long enough to worm them.
and fatten them up. I've heard it tastes like pork with a similar texture.

13. poor little guy! (or gal!)
Tame possums are really quite gentle creatures. Perhaps there is a local petting zoo or someplace to take the little critter that knows how to handle a tame wild animal. They are really not good pets for families with small children.

19. 1) Don't take it to New Zealand.
Possums are shot on sight in most places there.

26. I rescued an injured possum once upon a time
He never bit me or harmed me in any way, but I do know how to handle critters. Since he appeared to have been struck by a car, and there was a small amount of blood coming out of the corners of his mouth, I found a vet who would humanely put him down. They're weird critters - they have to have gas and a cardiac injection to put them down.

He was pretty cute, but stinky.

28. Opposums visits my house...
on a regular basis -- they come in through the cat door and roam around, sometimes into my bedroom. I'll wake up in the middle of the night and take a sniff -- yup, oppussum's visiting! :D

I really like the little guys, even if they are stinky. And I've never had a problem with one in all the years -- they have always left my cats, bunnies, and pigeon alone, and done nothing more than have a little nosh.

29. And you like pigies too
I have a pet pigeon here at work. I sneak a little birdseed to him. I've been threatened many times for feeding those "rats". I've seen the guy from the CDC who checks on their health - they're in great health. One guy told me they carry disease and I said, "Wow. That's really funny from a guy who walks through Parkland every day."

I like skunks too - the smell doesn't really bother me. I wouldn't want in in my house, but there you are.

I've rescued snakes off roads and freaked people out.

Your place sounds like a fun place! :D

30. Me too.
Used to keep the back doors open for the cats and the dogs, and about once a week one would wander into the living room. The littel ones are awfully cute.
