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 !
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!!
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.
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
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.
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
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!

They certainly are beautiful and cute animals!
This is too much. I just want to hug him and squeeze him!! 😍😍

What an adorable little creature!

How did you come to own them? I think they're just darling and I'd like to take care of one.
Love them!
She got really cleaned up for the occasion!
Trying to look hot for the opossum in cubicle 4.
OH my goodness she is so adorable!!😊

Little angel, I love her eyes.
God bless you.

Oh, the cuteness overload🐾💓
I can never get over how much their ears look like wax leaves.
Absolutely adorable! Please love our Opposums !!
She/he is adorable! Hope still around.
Don't look now but someone's an excellent possum mama! Thank you for sharing soooooo cute!
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.

Thank you for stopping! It saddens me when a mother is ran over and no one checks her pouch for babies. God bless you 🙏🏻
Too cute~!
Oh pure love baby. Wonderful video Krista.
Adorable. I want one.LOL.
Awwww sweet animal
lol i'm surprised you get any work done... i know i wouldn't ^_^
I had a possum once, his name was george jones!
An adorable little Baby.
😍😍😍Hermoso tlacuachito
What a clean little treasure she is.
Aww she's getting pretty. 🌸
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.
thank you for all them!
Little love bug baby
He's SOOO CUUUTE!!!!
Such a gentle creature
beyond adorable!
Пальчики,как у человека😘🤭🤗
I love you!!!!
So cute!
That is the way to wash face if no water is available. Use SPIT.
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.
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
Ncaaaawwwww!!!!! So cute!!
I wonder how people can find pugs cute, but simultaneously find possums and rodents gross or scary.
so wrong
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!
He's so cute 😍
If I got my own office opossum, I'd be the most diligent worker for fear of losing my adorable XXL rat.
soooo cuuuuteeee
WHAT GREAT PETS SWEET OPOSSUMS ARE...🏡🍎🍉🍇🍓🏡
Give her some food!!
SO CUTE AWWNN🌈💝💝
Awwww he or she winked at you
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 am fucking jelly. Super cute!!!
Muinto..lindo.saldades do meu😢❣️😢
Paws like a hand and it appears to make a fist. Toes that are actually functional.
Give him grapes
Can we please fire the lady who’s on Facebook petting her possum while she’s getting paid to work 😂😂😂

Симпатичный товарищ)

how many opossums live in captivity?accustomed to the toilet?
I couldn't guess how many opossums live in captivity overall.

Awww
Looks like he is wearing finger less gloves cute
Her hands are freakishly human like
Can the possum work a keyboard. They are cute little buggers.
💗💗💗💗💗💗Possums💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
0:28 when the White Balance kicks in on your phone! :-P
❤️
That music is perfect for watching her clean her little fingers and toes and batlike ears.
How is the office possum doing?
@ Maria B I am so sorry! Pooka brought me joy. Thank you for posting. 💖
Tell the story and use graphics...
Mykuré!
❤😊
I want a job in your office!
Ухи как чипсы и умывается прикольно😌
Wow
Bath time.
I like the girl better!
I'd love to see the opossum without the background music.
