And here he is now. All grown up. It's amazing to think he used to be so darn tiny.
The orange spot in the middle of his chest is a scent gland. He just reached sexual maturity. He is getting neutered next month.
He is a bit spoiled.

Here he is falling asleep. They are the most bizarre sleepers! When they get tired they will close their eyes and then just fall over sideways and be totally knocked out. It's the strangest thing. lol.
He likes to hold things while he sleeps.

He went through a I look like I stuck my tail in an electrical outlet phase for a bit when he was younger.

He kept Kholi company after her surgery. He adores the kids, anyone really. Especially the cats. His favorite thing to do is climb onto the counter (he got caught in the one photo!) when I'm cleaning cages. He is probably the easiest pet to care for. Tho they do need specific diets. If you google pet possum you will see many photos of what a possum in captivity SHOULD NOT look like. It is a very sad thing.

What a cutie! How did you end up with him? Most opossums around here are quite shy, and people rarely see them except in unfortunate circumstances.
