Just rescued a juvenile out of my tall recycle bin. Happens sometimes. I usually put a sturdy branch in it so they can get out. Possums cannot jump. Generally very docile. I love them. They get a bad rap, but I LOVE them, help them when I can. I did read that in captivity you HAVE to make sure they get the right diet or they can be a horrible bone disease and it malforms their lets. Thanks for sharing Pooka with us !
Another possum enthusiast! Ours is similarly named...Pookie. She shares living quarters with her roommate Pepper. Both live indoors and are very content and well cared for.
Just too adorable. My new start in life, (2018) Opossums. Know they will be there always. Truly enjoyable to sit and watch them. My entertainment. Pooka is truly adorable!!
I want one soooo bad. I've always been fascinated with them since I was a little girl. . them and bats are so very misunderstood. . more terrified of us than ppl realize. .
Yes that's true people here in Texas are scared of vampire bats but I find them cute in their own way almost impossible to feed them or keep them as pets since they drink blood also you gotta be carful picking them up because of their wings they break to easily because its thin skin while opossums require a special type of diet also both these animals don't live long only 2 to 4 years
Ah, yes, that seemingly endless supply of opossum slobber..!! Know it well.. . Wonderful how they can take time to care for themselves in captivity, something of a luxury in some areas in the wild. She's a cutie..!
I had the experience of stopping highway traffic a few nights ago to get a little opossum out of the road. Luckily I didn't have cruise control on and the drivers who stopped were understanding of what I was doing. Very misunderstood creatures they are
Opossums & Raccoons have hands and fingers unlike Cats. I think it’s an opossum that’s been drinking all the water I have outside for my cats because it’s so hot 🥵 outside
I have possums that come by here at night, that I can train to take food from my hand in less than a week. I have always wondered, can they be litterbox trained?
yes definetly....unlike a cat who will seek out a litter box, let them poop where they want,then put a low sided box there (pizza box)and they will continue to use that spot.
Oh there is one now!! Look for it! :D Also, if you use facebook, Pooka's daily updates and photos can be found on her page, Starfoot Tribe. I also have The Virginia Opossom Fan Club for Pooka and other opossums. :)
Here's a link to the Starfoot Tribe page. It was originally named for my first opossum, Kachina, but now it's all Pooka stuff: facebook.com/KachinaPossumina . The Virginia Opossum Fan Club is an older page but I update it with new stuff. I've considered just having the one page but I couldn't bear to shut down the old one. It has pictures of all my old opossum friends! So here it is: facebook.com/VirginaOpossumFanClub/ . And as for me, I'm not exactly a biologist. I'm a naturalist and a teacher.
I couldn't guess how many opossums live in captivity overall. When one comes into wildlife rehab injured or orphaned and has some condition that wouldn't allow it to survive in the wild, it can be placed in education. Such was the case with Pooka, because she has no tail. And yes, she does use a litter box! :) :)

Look at that face and his little pink fingers. I love them💓
Éu amo demais lindo às mãozinhas fofura eu numquento
Soooo precious!! That adorable face and those little hands melt my heart.
they are very clean animals, they groom as much as cats do - have seen it many times - actually i think they are cleaner then most people
When our possums groom it's serious business, nothing can break their concentration!

How did you come to own them? I think they're just darling and I'd like to take care of one.
Love them!
This is too much. I just want to hug him and squeeze him!! 😍😍
They certainly are beautiful and cute animals!
Just too adorable. My new start in life, (2018) Opossums. Know they will be there always. Truly enjoyable to sit and watch them. My entertainment. Pooka is truly adorable!!
I can never get over how much their ears look like wax leaves.
Absolutely adorable! Please love our Opposums !!
She got really cleaned up for the occasion!
Trying to look hot for the opossum in cubicle 4.
What an adorable little creature!

OH my goodness she is so adorable!!😊
My goodness, somebody got the deluxe whisker package😍! Love all the possum pix on the bulletin board🥰

Малышка, чистюля!!!!!!!!!
Little angel, I love her eyes.
God bless you.
She/he is adorable! Hope still around.
Omg I'm in love ! they only live two years I couldn't handle losing a pet every two years it would kill me
Erika First
Each time 3-4 years in captivity
That sounds more like rats. I thought opossums live twice as long at least.
I'm in love!! Such a sweet little Pooka!! 💕
So sweet! You're both so lucky.
I looooove these animals, thanx for let us watch
Beautiful little peanut!
Don't look now but someone's an excellent possum mama! Thank you for sharing soooooo cute!
Oh, the cuteness overload🐾💓
So adorable!😍
Oh my goodness, your baby Pooka is the sweetest, most adorable little opossum!
Пальчики,как у человека😘🤭🤗
Awwww sweet animal
I had the experience of stopping highway traffic a few nights ago to get a little opossum out of the road. Luckily I didn't have cruise control on and the drivers who stopped were understanding of what I was doing. Very misunderstood creatures they are
Thank you for stopping! It saddens me when a mother is ran over and no one checks her pouch for babies. God bless you 🙏🏻
Es hermosa!!!!!! it's so nice, beautiful, etc.!!!
I wonder how people can find pugs cute, but simultaneously find possums and rodents gross or scary.
Very cute!
Adorable. I want one.LOL.
An adorable little Baby.
He's SOOO CUUUTE!!!!
beyond adorable!
lol i'm surprised you get any work done... i know i wouldn't ^_^
I had a possum once, his name was george jones!
Too cute~!
Aww she's getting pretty. 🌸
Adorable
Wait a minute, I need an Office Opossum too. I mean like right now. Maybe two. My God Pooka’s adorable. It’s not like I get any work done anyway.
Such a gentle creature
thank you for all them!
😍😍😍Hermoso tlacuachito
Oh pure love baby. Wonderful video Krista.
Muinto..lindo.saldades do meu😢❣️😢
Ncaaaawwwww!!!!! So cute!!
So cute!
Little love bug baby
He's so cute 😍
The first thing Pooka is saying is that your office isn't up to cleaning status, and then its... (yawn) time to take a nap!
If I got my own office opossum, I'd be the most diligent worker for fear of losing my adorable XXL rat.
That is the way to wash face if no water is available. Use SPIT.
Give her some food!!
Sweet thank you for sharing
Симпатичный товарищ)
I love you!!!!
very sweet
Awwww he or she winked at you
soooo cuuuuteeee
Can we please fire the lady who’s on Facebook petting her possum while she’s getting paid to work 😂😂😂
I am fucking jelly. Super cute!!!
Opossums & Raccoons have hands and fingers unlike Cats. I think it’s an opossum that’s been drinking all the water I have outside for my cats because it’s so hot 🥵 outside
Paws like a hand and it appears to make a fist. Toes that are actually functional.
SO CUTE AWWNN🌈💝💝
As much as I like watching an opossum clean it’s face and lick at its cloaca for 5 minutes, I thought there would be more.
I want one
Give him grapes

Great. I will try that next time one comes around that wants to move in. LOL
I'm chortling. I would have a whole bunch of pizza boxes lined up for possible indoor tennants. @@BirdWhisperer46
WHAT GREAT PETS SWEET OPOSSUMS ARE...🏡🍎🍉🍇🍓🏡
Oh my goodness, look at those little ears 3:00 🙂
Awww
Can the possum work a keyboard. They are cute little buggers.
QUE HERMOSOOS
Умилительное создание)
Her hands are freakishly human like
красавец))
Squee! The earses!
That music is perfect for watching her clean her little fingers and toes and batlike ears.
Looks like he is wearing finger less gloves cute
waiting for a new video with my friend Pooka=)))))
Oh there is one now!! Look for it! :D Also, if you use facebook, Pooka's daily updates and photos can be found on her page, Starfoot Tribe. I also have The Virginia Opossom Fan Club for Pooka and other opossums. :)

how many opossums live in captivity?accustomed to the toilet?

I dont get them as pets for 2 reasons, 1st we don't have em where i live, 2nd i can't be heart broken every 3 years
