BULL! I had a four-eyed opossum and HE WAS A GREAT PET! He didn't get along with my ferrets, but he was a character. He Loved eating "Cheetos" with me Late at night! He would get jealous of me petting my ferrets and go back& forth between my hands for "his turn". I have no idea how old he was since I got him as an adult. He only lived 3 years in my care. I miss him...
I don't see anything wrong with having a North American opossum as a pet. They are easy to turn into a domestic raised animal like all those reptiles like snakes and are safer to handle than snakes. And yet we're allowed to have snakes as pets but not the North American opossum? What kind of conspiracy are our national and state governments holding here. Some of their laws are so stupid and don't make a lick of sense. It's like " Do as I say. I don't care what you think. " Greedy dumb*ss idiots!
There are some really neat possums around the world. They are a very under-appreciated animal. You can see more at the link in description. possum planet com
Ive wanted a possum for years but here in Oregon, where we have nothing but possums, its illegal to have one as a pet as they are considered not indigenous. The fact is with an educated owner (ie one who has done their research on possums) they are damn good pets with fantastic personalities.
You cannot own opossums because they are indigenous/native. You might be able to own a possum from outside of the country. Four-eyed possums are available on the market and the Yawari might be interesting. I dont think they make good pets though.
No. Where I live the Virginia Opossum is NOT CONSIDERED indigenous and therefor a threat to the wildlife that IS considered indigenous, just like our red squirrels. And if I brought in an injured possum or a red squirrel to the local humain society they would turn it away. Go figure
I saw Petes CLOACA!!!
