What’s he going to do with them? Are they edible?
well, I guess SOME people eat them…… He is putting them in a cage as he catches them, I’ll probably call the wildlife rehab people tomorrow. They are kinda cute but they sure do hiss! 😆
I think they’re cute in their scruffy way. They’re a problem for you? Here we hardly see them.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmHate to say it… but some people down here still eat them. :puke:
Did y’all have a nest or something?
My DIL had one as a pet growing up. They fed it dog food and some of their dogs would sleep under the porch with it 😀Possums are so ugly, they’re cute! 😀 Hopefully, they’ll be released far from people that want to make pie out of them. 😆
I sometimes see a opossum or two around my neighborhood, but it wouldn’t be long before they ended up as road kill! And they weren’t play possum! 🙁
Devil’s advocate here, but what’s wrong with eating possum?
Do be careful though with the ones you catch, sadly rabies is something to always be aware of in any wild mammal.

My art: featherdust.comThe only thing I was told is that you must purge them first. Cage them for a week or so and feed them things like fruit. Possums will eat a lot of nasty things like carrion and garbage, so you need to clean the “icky” out of their systems first. Technically, you don’t have to… but I heard it’s much better this way, and that the meat is really white.
Don’t quote me on this though, I’ve never had it… 😆 Nutria, on the other hand, now that is really tasty! :yum:
Aww, I couldn’t personally kill an animal-especially if I had it trapped and fed it for a week! I’d have them named by day 2! 😆

I had something in the back of my mind about them being nasty(-tasting) critters, but we don’t have possums here and I don’t know much about them. I’d be curious to know how they taste, though. 😳
