That sure is a cute possum. My dad would put up squirrel houese in the yard to keep the squirrels from moving into our house. Our yard had a good 20 Burr Oak trees in it that attracted the squirrels. PUT UP THOSE HOUSES & THEY WILL COME.

We had a possum on our deck years ago that would come & eat the cat food. The cats let us know when the possum was there a lot of hissing & growling. We fed the possum apples & would watch it eat & then lick the sticky juice off of its' little hands.

Our veterinary told us possums were not good to have around the hay. They urinate on the hay & the horses could eat the hay & get sick. I carried one by the tail one time after the dogs took after it out in the fields. It was playing dead & I put it in a small tree where it hung on for dear life. The dogs check that tree the next day & the possum was gone.
