He was stuck inside a dog food bag when he was a baby. I don't know how long he'd been in there but he wasn't doing too well when he was brought to me. All is well now though!

He doesnt have any diseases? like you got him vaccinated and everything? He is adorable!

[Stephanie91583]

Yep, I live in the back woods of Indiana so this actually isn't totally uncommon around these parts. lol

[Stephanie91583]

Aww Thanks! Yes, my son loves critters as much as I do. :-) I will be posting more vids of Cleedus SOON.

Not only do you have a lovable cuddle-bug pet, your boy will not grow up to become one of the many animal abusers that record cruelty to animals and post it on YouTube as "comedy".

Have you hugged your possum today ??

I am ashamed to be human... humans are discusting abusive creatures... I hope we learn fast and if we dont then I hope for exinction of humanity.

I love Cleedus! I have a rescued pet Opossum named Opie who will not eat anything except boiled chicken and Little Debbie's Oatmeal Pies. When I found him, he'd been subsisting on Subway rolls and was very ill. I have tried every kind of fruit and vegetable and sometimes, he will eat a piece of cheese. All I know is that I love him more than anything and I have mice in the house, but he watches them just run by; he is not interested in harming or eating them. THANK YOU for this cute video!

They seem really gentle and docile. Cute, even.

I suggest fresh goats milk or the canned myenburg.

Almost all animals can digest it as there is no lactose, no preservative . When your baby is about half of cletus' size, get some meal worms and calcium fortified kibble, augment with overripe fruits veggies and Mac and cheese with extra cheese in it. They are omnivores and later in life are excellent moussers..they'll eat any and all foods. We feed our wilds a lot of hot dogs too. In fact, grizzly or not, possums love to eat mice and rats, o

I just found a baby possum on the side of the road. The mom was dead and so were all of the siblings. I've been looking online for a detailed diet sheet but can't find anything of value. I've raised countless baby squirrels to release and I want to help this little guy out. Can you please send me info about the formula you used and the diet Cleetus gets? I'm feeding Esbilac puppy formula right now to my baby. Thank you!
