I'm learning to be a docent so I'll be working with an opossum. Learning all this stuff about possums will come in handy for sure. I'll let the other ppl in my class know. :D
That was cute. Living in New Mexico I know virtually nothing about the animal. Not going to run out and look for one as a pet but will enjoy other's videos.
possums actually make an interesting pet. they really are sweet! not much will make them move quick.... just as with many wild animals, if you get them as babies, they dont bite. I used to bath mine with Herbal Essence shampoo to make them smell sweet. They hung out with the dogs and followed us around.... and stopped often to think possum thoughts..... kind of like it had to wait, till his thoughts could catch up this the body..... mine were not old, 3 of them fit in my shirt pocket.
My mom saved a baby opossum from drowning in my pool :) she got it breathing again and let me pet it and put it in a towel and let it go and it slept for a while then left. :)
@MEpearlA I'm very sorry for all the hate that you get from ignorant people who cant see that your just putting your own advice out there for people who really need it. Keep making videos!
Great videos , glad you told the people to leave the "outside ones" (wild Opossums) alone..As always some nut will do something wrong ...kinda like the "betty White" "out there theme"...and of course "peach" is a kool opossum
If I hadn't seen this, I don't think I would have believed this video could possibly exist. Question is, how many opossums need dental care? And if so, why? And is it necessary to man-handle an animal like that for the sake of bad opossum breath? I have so many problems with this. Including the "protective outerwear".
@bellechatte2 I believe MEpearlA is indeed a veterinarian. She doesn't eat meat. Neither do I or should you. Animals are sentient beings, besides being bad for your health.
OMG. I've had the most hectic day (packing for vacation at my mother-in-law's with 3 energetic kids!) and this . . . this was delightful. I think I love you. I know I want to move in.
MEpearla-Where were you a month ago when I was brushing my Opossum (Scarlet) teeth? I could have used your helpful tip-using a longer tooth brush! It would have saved me a trip to the ER. I hoping that my index finger will grow back.
Listening to this woman speak has some strange, calming effect on me. The perfectly enunciated and conjugated speech imbues her sweetness with authority, keeping my urge-to-kill gauge safely in the green. I could listen all day.
I was finally able to get an opposum (frankly I was surprised there was such along waiting list). His name is Zack. Can I use people toothpaste on Zack? I ask because soon after I brought Zack home my wife started developing severe red rashes all over her back and face - and she has trouble breathing. I suspect it is the brand of toothpaste I picked up at the pet store. I think using people toothpaste would solve the problem - but I am afraid it might not be safe for Zack.
The angry opossum I saw in my alley showed me his teeth. They looked dirty. I will try to brush his teeth while I massage him. I may even try floss. His gums looked red to me. Thanks.
Positively dentalizing. I'm sure your (o)possum will be thankful for the saintly dental care given it; knowing that it will never have to undergo expensive and painful transplants or dental surgery.

It's my understanding that opossums sleep deeply in the daytime. Is this possibly why your opossum is so docile here and in the massage video?

No. Simple oral hygiene maintenance is easily performed by an animal's normal caregiver.
More complex procedures such as deep cleaning, root canals, extractions, and dental implants require a veterinary specialist.

I was finally able to get an opposum (frankly I was surprised there was such along waiting list). His name is Zack. Can I use people toothpaste on Zack? I ask because soon after I brought Zack home my wife started developing severe red rashes all over her back and face - and she has trouble breathing. I suspect it is the brand of toothpaste I picked up at the pet store. I think using people toothpaste would solve the problem - but I am afraid it might not be safe for Zack.
