They reportedly consume a whole lot of ticks. I hate ticks more than mosquitoes. Therefore, I love possums.
I understand this is somewhat deceiving. They will eat ticks, but only if there is no other food source.
They are a carrier for a neuro disease that kills horses (from grazing on grass infested with possum feces).

My wife saw a possum for the first time as it crossed the road one night right in front of us. She said, "What the hell is that!!!"

She had never seen a possum before?

I heard they can cause a baseball rally in late innings.

We have one that eats cat food on our porch every evening. We call it Jamie. Seems like a nice little critter.

I used to have 3 of them. Mario, Lucius, and Luigi. They loved the table scraps I put out for them.

They don’t live long and flubbing is gross

I assumed they were very flexible. I thought they ate the ticks off of their own arse?

their lifespan is about 3 minutes once they get into my pasture

I have a persimmon tree that makes more fruit than I can eat. Opossum’s love them!

I've heard they are short on patience and long on tooth. They make great pets...until they rip your face off!
Posted on 9/30/24 at 10:11 pm to TigrrrDad
I wonder why lifespan so short even in captivity and good care.

A friend lost her horse to that disease. I understand horse people dispatch them when they see them.

They are so cute and taste great roasted with sweet taters and brown sugar.
