r/Opossums

She's such a cute Moody sweet little honey. And she's definitely gotten insanely sweeter and more tolerant of human BS as she's gotten older. If y'all could send Good Vibes that would be great. She's going to the vet next Tuesday. She hasn't been seemingly feeling well.. and we're hoping it's not kidney issues. Her heart medications can cause it long-term. But she still gets up whenever she feels like it and waddles on her wheel and begs for food while not eating the food she's supposed to lol.

Vet thinks Lucky has a small pouch and is a girl! Should we rename her to Luanne? (King of the hill reference)

Hi guys sorry I hope I did the right thing. I was driving home with my boyfriend around 2 am and we saw this opossum and after watching him he just kept spinning in circles. I was like why so I went up to him and his right eye looks really messed up. We put him in a bag, took him to my house, and now he’s in a box. We will take him to an animal rescue tomorrow morning when they open. I gave him some cat food and water. Any tips I guess? Is he sick? Am I going to get sick, my boyfriend was reallyyyy worried i’ll get sick from it but I don’t think I will.

I swear she'll stare off into the distance for an hour before falling asleep and then sleepwalking (with her eyes open), she's so busy most of the time 😂

I could tell my doggo was about to get ahold of something so I carried the box to the outside of our backyard and shook him out / then he just ran and ran until he found another hidey hole. How old do we think this sweet little guy is?

I’m surprised this Joey ran away so fast and far from Mom and I hope she retrieved it. I went out with a flashlight and looked in all the bushes but there were too many hiding places. I didn’t hear a faint squeal so I hope mom got it.

Just a little video of him crunching and chewing on some bok choy 🥬

I love the babies, but I’m always so happy when I see the big one still enjoying my cat food. I wish so much that I could protect them or do more, but knowing they have looped me in to their evening exploits makes me so happy I got sober a few months ago and enjoying these guys has been such a wonderful activity for me at night now that I don’t drink.

This little girl didn’t have thinning or balding hair on her back until recently. Will she be ok? I can’t do much for her. I feed her and the others scrambled eggs with the shell and some fruit and sometimes yogurt unsweetened,

Just an old video of my now old and fat little Remi girl 💕

I released this guy years ago at this point but when he came to me he was CAKED in red clay so... He had to have a bath!
