Their poo is out of this world stinky, but otherwise they are very awesome.
I was trying to stick them in a bucket to clean their pen, but they kept grabbing on to the lip with their tails. It was hilarious. I like watching them climb also. They look like they should be bad at it, but they’re pretty good.
Awesome critters and no reason anyone should dislike them!
all good. i got 3 comments all at once so I just figured it was for the best.
Heck, even I didn’t know it was false until I found the post! I’m surprised I saw a couple others mention it. The rumor is really widespread.
We feed ours dried mealworms as part of their diet, so I just assumed they eat whatever bugs.
i now know that they don’t eat many ticks, I was just excited cause I love opposums and I think they get a fairly bad reputation for being “vermin”.
i didn’t realize an article about them not eating ticks was posted today. i don’t think I’m on the instance that shared that.
i guess that’s why all the comments focused on the ticks thing.
i just think they’re neat.
