I love opossums. I used to hand feed them at my old house. They usually are more scared of you than you are of them. I just wish I had some at the new house.

They might not be the prettiest things to look at, but I just think they are sweet.

"MY" opossums, would come to my house everynight and wait for me to bring them Peanut butter sandwiches. They would take them from me, and I could even pet them.

If I was you, I would either ignore them and make sure your garbage is contained or, do like I did and feed them. But they do keep coming back if you feed them.

Your opossum looks skinny to me. Poor little fella.

GOOD LUCK!
