DH put up a huge fence and electrified it to keep them out of his veg garden. Last year there was a little hole and a young one got in...they can ruin a row of broccoli in about 5 minutes. A few years ago one got it and took a bite out of every single squash...and there were over a dozen of them. Ruined every one. Not cute animals at all....and we are huge animal lovers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1668259 Fri, 27 May 2016 17:34:01 +0000 MsMaven 1668259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Siamese cat trapped a possum in a tree in front of our house a few years back. She didn't know what to do about it other than sit at the base of the tree and stare up at it, and the possum seemed unwilling to move. That was the first time I'd seen one close up.&nbsp;</p> <p>We took her back inside, locked the kitty door, and the possum then left on its own.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1668196 Fri, 27 May 2016 15:47:27 +0000 Classically Casual 1668196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this thread and your stories and pictures!

So nice of you to rescue the little guy, we would have rescued him too. We have all sorts of wildlife in our yard that is a native prairie/meadow but I've yet to see a possum up close. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1668056 Fri, 27 May 2016 10:19:45 +0000 Ledonna N. 1668056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am from the city we only have rats and rabbits. These are much better. You are very brave to have moved it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1667996 Fri, 27 May 2016 04:59:36 +0000 deb 1667996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute.

I have loved them ever since. Many people think they are vicious and rabid which is such a shame. I hope he/she stays (but out of reach of my dogs). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1667950 Fri, 27 May 2016 02:14:39 +0000 Suz 1667950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute!

I love possums. They are so unusual (marsupials) and misunderstood because they are not conventionally attractive and they hiss. But they are so cool. Thanks for being kind to this one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1667833 Thu, 26 May 2016 23:29:39 +0000 Aida 1667833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a little cutie!

She did not bite it. My husband and his brother who was visiting had never heard of possums and they could not figure out what this large, panting ball of fur was and they thought poking it with a stick to get it moving was a good idea. All three, dog and guys, got yelled at and made to come inside. I felt sorry for the possum so I went back out and left a peanut butter sandwich for it. Both were gone by morning.</p> <p>I want a rock chuck in my yard. The local woodchucks are not quite as cute and they make it very difficult to grow vegetables. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1667705 Thu, 26 May 2016 19:00:11 +0000 catgirl 1667705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1667695 Thu, 26 May 2016 18:46:07 +0000 Sihaya 1667695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1667688 Thu, 26 May 2016 18:34:12 +0000 Meredith 1667688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1667659 Thu, 26 May 2016 17:25:23 +0000 AviaMariah 1667659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, they're marmots. &nbsp;I live in Eastern WA and we have them all over. &nbsp;I grew up seeing them running around rock slides or rocky river embankments. We now live in the middle of flat (but rocky) pasture ground and I didn't realize they lived here until just this week. &nbsp;They chirp like a really loud bird (I initially thought the dogs cornered a bird). &nbsp;I think they can hold their own though because our dog now has a nice bite mark on his leg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1667615 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:54:10 +0000 Meredith 1667615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AviaMariah: Are rockchucks marmots?

I can definitely relate to the middle of the night showdowns. Although thankfully it's just been possums, squirrels, and rabbits!</p> <p>Rachey: I didn't see a mama or siblings. 8 inches is not including tail, so I think he is a young juvenile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1667579 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:06:41 +0000 JAileen 1667579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Possum, beware of badger hunters! </p> <p>My two terriers spent four to five hours the other day trying to get a squirrel that was hiding in a piece of pvc pipe. The squirrel was not harmed, thanks to my husband. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-possum#post-1667578 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:04:59 +0000 rachylou 1667578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww.

He is about 8 inches long. He was disappointed when I suggested that a yard with two dachshunds was not the best place to camp. He and one of my dogs had a 1:00 a.m. growling and hissing match that I had to break up a few weeks ago. I didn't realize he had stayed until this morning when I heard him growling at the back of the garden. I relocated him and the log he was under to part of the yard the dogs can't access, so hopefully everyone can coexist. </p>
