Hey. Just a question for someone who has dealt with opossums a lot. What exactly is their lifetime in captivity? My girlfriend thinks they are adorable and may volunteer to work at an animal clinic but she's afraid of getting too attached if they live for such a short time.
Oh yes, he was a rescue..........I only do rescue work, never breeding. He had issues that prevented release. Most do fine and are put back into the wild after they reach a certain size. He is so mellow, not even a bath phases this little one.....and most possums do not like having a bath :)
