How can ANYONE think these animals are "ugly"?! I've just recently befriended one of the little guys, myself, and while I haven't attempted to feed him by hand, he trundle up to my porch most every night for a meal. I started out with catfood, but after some research, I've started experimenting with some fresh fruits, (grapes are his favorite so far) as well as small amounts of yogurt and cottage cheese since I read that possums can be prone to calcium deficiency. He's still a wild animal, but one I'm pleased to call friend.
I agree, and regrettably the older I get and the more cruelty I see, it's clear to me that it's people, not animals, that are the "ugliest" creatures in nature. God help us.
Opossums are super cute and sweet. People are uneducated and because they look like “giant rats” people automatically assume their rodents… which they most certainly are not!!! But yeah people just need to be educated more. Which is why i expose our opossum as much as possible. He’s a rescue. Handicapped so unreleasable
I put out cat food and to help with the calcium issue I bought FLUKER'S LIQUID CALCIUM 1.7oz from my local pet store and I add the recommended 1/2 tsp per 8oz of water in a bowl for the little guy. I imagine it helps a lot bc the higher ammount of liquid calcium gets right into thier system. Try it.😁👍ps the 1.7 oz bottle lasts me about 3 months and it's around 10.00 on Amazon.
As a southern American my mom still has her racist old school attitude about opposums ! When I tried to tell her they’re Marsupials , she just said gross, whatever they are gross ! I said Not!
It's because they look terrifying when they're on defense I own two now I used to hate them but they're so God damn adorable and so smart and so nice they're like a cat mixed with a dog mixed with a mouse or hamster
Eu também amo as mãozinha ❤ são muito lindos. Sou do Brazil e aqui eles também são incompreendidos!!!! Dou frutas e comida para vários no meu quintal. Eles veem comer na minha mão ❤
@@gidkath it wasn't confused, it was nearly starting to rip his hand off and the guy was realizing it so he took his and away... stop spreading your bullshit on here!
just took a baby one to a rehaber. He walked right into my living room and it took me a day 1/2 to find him and put him in a carrier for safe keeping and to stop him from his uninvited stroll. If it had been a rat, I'd have stayed awake, but I knew their not mean and I gave up , went to sleep and the next day he crawled out from behind the stove and I picked him up using my hands and a towel. Never showed any meanness. I fed and watered him, sneaking can make you hungry, and then off to the rehaber. They are just the most docile animals. Just want to eat and sleep.
Indeed they are. I love how he’s holding onto that BBQ cable. He didn’t even hiss or grimace really when he goes to hand him the food which is very unusual. I have my fifth possum now and he still grimaces sometimes when I go in towards his face with my hand. Never ever bites and he absolutely loves his papa (me) but they’re just so hardwired to grimace (show their teeth with an open mouth) they just can’t help it sometimes. I love these creatures. Can’t live without em now.
I have an opossum come around nightly to eat the leftover cat food and other scraps that would otherwise go in the trash. Am happy to have this semi-pet. Similar to skunks, they are very laid-back and gentle animals.
Oh poor thing is scared. It’s trembling. Opossums are the most beneficial creatures. They do a world of good. We are lucky to have them around. They eat pests like ticks, cockroaches, insects, mice, rats. They are also our only marsupial in the US and they help keep rodents away from your home and your neighborhood will be a lot better with them hanging around. You will be pest free if you have opossums living on your property. I welcome them. As homeowners you want them around! They do plenty of work like the cleaning up pests in yard. They’re simply amazing creatures and do a job for you by keeping your home rodent free!
One day SOON, the entire Earth will be transformed into a park like Garden of Paradise where animals and humans peacefully coexist and NO ONE causes ANYONE harm (Isaiah 11:6-9) Sadly...less than 1/10th of 1% of the WORLD knows about this. Hope to see you there😁😁😁
@@cgrisby1965 the folks that wrote that thought it was going to happen in their own lifetime. Good luck I guess. I'm going to try to make actual changes so God doesn't have to clean up after us like a bunch of gross toddlers
I love that opossums have tiny hands. They can literally grab stuff like humans because they got thumbs Cute little critters. I wish we had them in germany
I always give these fellas cat food when I see them in my neighborhood. They help prevent the spread of Lyme disease by eating ticks so I think they deserve a treat
This is the sweetest thing ever. Why do they make the food sound even better than it is with all the lip smacking.🤣 I feed one every night on my porch in the city. Unfortunately mine is too shy to feed by hand like yours. Nice to see people caring for these wonderful animals!
The Virginia Opposum is so misunderstood. They are very timid and beautiful animals. I love 'em. They are also highly resistant to rabies (one of those misunderstandings people have).
@@kane2440 Just about any animal will bite you if it was cornered and threatened. Opossums are no different. They are, however, non aggressive animals and won’t bite unless you force them too so no worries.
@@TheRedGremlin i have and have seen people being chase by them for just walking around the neighborhood idk what the hell your talking about because it must be a different species
@@kane2440 We got to be talking about something different. Been around these opossums all my life. Never seen one act aggressively in any way ( other than self defense) and certainly not pursue someone. They are much too shy to do that.
Fun facts: they eat tics and invasive species, it is very very unlikely to be attacked by one because they are normally very scared of humans, they like cooler/darker climates to help keep their skin from drying out, and they have 50 teeth. Cool stuff and very cute!
I have 2 in my house. L9ng story short. They came in 2 years ago as we bought a old abandoned house. They ate all our dry foods in the kitchen and never left lol. They sleep with me as now they are on my sleeping schedule. They are very very smart and not aggressive at all. I get love licks through out the night and both ball up by my face. At first they would Hiss and spit. But after a week they caught on that I was the food guy. That turned into baths and sleeping on my pillow at night. They used to be up all night but adapted to night time sleep and day time adventures which still end up with a messy house. But what animal doesn't mess up a house? They are wonderful pets and companions.
They are absolutely adorable...I had a baby opossum come into my trailer through a hole in the duct work...I put some cat food in a cat carrier...and then once it went inside I gently closed it and then took it outside to let it go...it didn't show its teeth ..poor baby was just hungry
I recently learned how short their life span is, and that just seems cruel! So far I've only seen one, late a night, and very shy, takes off as soon as I try to even open the door! I keep hoping he/she will come by and let me feed it something. They certainly aren't mean or aggressive.
I just learned that too and got so upset! For the last 10 years I have had a possum come to my backyard to have her babies under my shed. I named her Posie. Giving her a safe place to give birth always made me feel like a proud granny, lol. Now I find out that Posie has probably been dead for 8 years and my heart is broken 💔. Since I have consistently seen possums every year, I hope that maybe those are her descendants. Posie, rest in peace you sweet girl ❤️
I love these little guys.i had one as big as my Jack Russell just walk up to me on my porch one night. Let me pet her and she just sat there. My dog just sat there too, wide eyed and confused lmao. They're so cute and they DONT carry rabies like some people think. Adorable.
I absolutely LOVE OPOSSUMS ❣️❣️❣️❣️. Fun fact:. Opossums eat ticks so not only are they absolutely adorable 🥰 they keep you safe from ticks ‼️. Thanks for sharing this video gave me a big smile 😄
Opossums are one of the most precious misunderstood animals in the world. I have one I couldn't live without. The person feeding and petting this one must have a good heart. Thank God.
This is too cute! Thank you for sharing I used to get an opossum that found itself in my garbage can, and had been doing so since it was a baby. I have pictures of it from then. The first one I got, the poor little thing had an expression on its face that looked like a classic vampire that had just gotten caught in sunlight. Lol! It visited my garbage can a few more times, and in each case, I would slowly angle the mouth of the can to the ground. It would take a moment, and then it would scamper off. I would get video of the lil guy when I could. I hope the lil guy's alright wherever it may be.
Such innocence in animals eyes. All of them. The only eyes you will look into that will maintain that pureness from birth to death. Your soul grows in vibrance each time you are kind to them. This made me cry and smile :)
We had a visiting possum too last year. She would show up under the same car every night at the same time. Eventually we took her inside to give her a bath, she needed it!! We weren’t expecting to see her again but she kept coming back. We would put her back outside after feeding her and she starting giving hints she didn’t want to leave. Winter came and we decided to give her a permanent home. She had her own room and loved to be held and cuddled and would even eat out of our hand. She never showed any signs of being scared or unhappy. We found out she was blind although we suspected as much when we found her so we were glad we were able to give her the special care she needed. She died almost 6 months after we got her and my girlfriend made a pendant out of her hair and ashes that she wear wherever she goes.
I live in the northwest mountains of NC and possums are plentiful. This little guy likes to crawl into my grill to find leftover drippings. I have a large black dog inside and he alerts me anytime the possum arrives, which is often. I think possums are some of the most misunderstood of animals. Not only are they incredibly cute, they are not aggressive.
@@TheRedGremlin they can eat a LOT of ticks, can't jump and as you said, they aren't mean. It's the racoons getting in peoples trash, not these guys, mostly.
@@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet I've saved more than a few. I appreciate them. I wish they lived longer, a lot of the death is from predators, so maybe they would if they didn't get attacked.
*under normal circumstances they won't be able to contract rabies as their natural body temp prohibits the virus from surviving in their body. However if they are already sick and exprience a change in body temperature they still can contract rabies. It's very important to understand the difference, despite how rarely it happens. That being said, they're lovely and very beneficial.
I love possums!🧡🧡🧡 I love that they chew their food and taste it, not like dogs that just swallow. And their little wiggly ears! Just so dang cute!🧡🧡🧡🧡
It's looking really healthy. Have had three or four adults this year. My mature female hasn't visited in a week but I've had a youngish male with a shortened tail and I'm hoping a young nursing mother. Good luck with your squatter. It's nice week when you get a resident. Messier of course. What are you feeding them? I understand they need calcium and get a lot from eating whole small animals and remains. I decided a little while ago to offer our locals rotisery chickens, breaking it up between all meat and half meat and bones. They take everything and crunch it down happily. If they like it and it helps keep them healthy and prosperous i cant help it. They seem to like most fruit too. The sugars and water cant hurt i suppose. Did it stick around?
It's AMAZING that the food drive of wild animals is so intense, that even when a 6 foot tall 200 pound apex predatorial ape bursts into their hiding spot, within 30 seconds they can be coaxed into ignoring the threat and enjoying some pepperoni lol.
Opossums are so freakin' adorable! Plus, they are very much needed. In the lifespan of a opossum, which is 1-3 years, they can eat up to 5,000 ticks or more every season.

Opossums are very cute little creatures. I can't understand all the hate.
Sometimes people fear what they don't understand or know about. Once you learn more, it would be hard to hate those little guys.
It's ignorance! They're thought of as rodents, when in fact they're nowhere near the rodent family!

They killed chickens. Chickens lay eggs. So they take food out of your mouth that's why the hate.

That is a beautiful opie!!! ❤ I truly love these guys and have one living in my house with me 😂
Annnnnnd Thunder Buddies for life..... Never hurts to lend a little animal a helping hand every once in a while...
I want to hug him
It's AMAZING that the food drive of wild animals is so intense, that even when a 6 foot tall 200 pound apex predatorial ape bursts into their hiding spot, within 30 seconds they can be coaxed into ignoring the threat and enjoying some pepperoni lol.
His possum hands are sooo cute
I can't stop going, "Aw~"
I wished I have the courage to befriend the opossum I trapped that I let go many years ago.
Absolutely adorable
Opossums are so freakin' adorable! Plus, they are very much needed. In the lifespan of a opossum, which is 1-3 years, they can eat up to 5,000 ticks or more every season.
Wow! Awwwww!
These creatures fascinate me. Just look at those ears! And the little hands holding on. Just amazing.
