        Opossums are the best animals to have around your property. They keep other pests at bay and eat all the nuisance bugs.

        We've had opossum, skunks, foxes alternating under my shed for years. I think it's a timeshare. We've had baby fox, skunk; hope for opossum.

        Fool! Opossums are awesome; they eats ticks, keep rats and other vermin away, and won't mess with your pets.

        I've had members of the same little family coming for dinner for years. They wait on front porch, eat, & leave. All God's creatures...

        I'm in a small town in N. AR - our vet helps out when necessary, then we release them in the woods by a little pond when they're ready.
