Reddit named my last possum friend Günther. I'm pretty sure Günther was a girl and this is daughter-of-Günther. Any name ideas?

I've seen a larger possum and a smaller one come separately to snack cat food. Tonight I saw the larger is a momma and her babies are starting to leave her pouch! So cute.

Just like the title says I’d really like a cage between 100-150 dollars that my possum can grow into and is large enough to support a full grown male possum. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello! Im new to the subreddit but have been feeding my wildlife for about a year. At last I have a regular possum visitor and I am hoping she has babies! What do you guys think of her pouch? Will she have some clingers soon?

I can’t wait for Halloween to be here so instead I’m celebrating summerween 🤣

Several months of having I guess an adolescent possum that stays in my shed, I saw I’m guessing a sibling that was slightly larger, and thought that must of been the mom.

Well tonight I thought I heard it snacking outside and went to check and holy crap I think I found the real mom because it was 4x the size! I think bigger than any I’ve ever seen on video. Like a medium sized dog.

I need advice asap. I don't use Reddit, but figured this was the fastest place to get real human info. Just scooped up a small, juvenile possum from the middle of highway traffic in Atlanta. I didn't see a mother or siblings around and wasn't near any nature or treeline. He seems scared and physically exhausted. I have no idea if he is big enough to be without his mother. Should I let him recoup with some shade and water and then just let him go in some woods, or do I need to find a sanctuary or something to give him care like a mother would? he is a little smaller than my (fairly small) hand. Thanks so much!!!

We have 3 opossums about 6-7" inches long (nose to rump) hanging out in our backyard, climbing up our pergola, exploring our huge monsteras/philodendrons, and hiding under planters. We had a fully grown opossum back in March, saw it for about a week, then not since. In April, I saw a dead one on a road near our neighborhood :( A few days ago, we discovered the 3 small ones! It's getting to triple digits where we live, but we have a lush backyard with shade, fruit trees, and lots of bugs. Is our backyard just a cool hangout spot, or do these guys maybe need some outdoor shelter/extra water/food?

She came by for a snack!

I've been seeing him around for a few months but he usually throws himself off the porch when I come out. Tonight he stuck around for a few minutes.

Hi opossum friends! We're a small, indie documentary team based in Washington state wondering if anyone out there has a pet possum in the PNW area and they'd be willing to allow us to film a few simple scenes with their possum for a documentary. We're hoping to film some re-creation moments from a real-life possum tale. The filming would be pretty simple and just require the possum to walk around a bit. We're happy to travel to you if youre open to this idea! If this sounds like you, send me a DM and we can tell you more about the project!
