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

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.

Also, he will do anything for a grape or marshmellow. He absolutely loves them. Karen, his mother was hit by a car. He developed neurological issues because of this. He was the only one who survived. He cried and cried for his mother for two days straight. After I become his new mom anytime I left he would cry for me. Cry=high pitched bark. My bf is in love with him. If anything happened to him he would cry like a sissy girl. He is very much a loved member of our family. He is getting neutered next week and I plan on using him for educational purposes.

It's funny because the majority of people really think he's cool. I was expecting more of an ewww what is that sort of response, but things have gone good for us. :0) I can't wait to start taking him to schools.

I don't know why people do not keep them as pets more often, except for the obvious legality issues. They make very good pets. He is litter trained, non destructive and mild mannered. His vet even pondered the thought. Def a good pet. Easier to care for than my ferrets, cats and dog! Of course, if they were turned into pets they would need to be so from an early age. The only thing he absolutely hates is getting a bath. I'll try to video him next time so you can hear how upset he gets!
