I haven't seen her. There was a dead baby possum by my car a couple weeks ago and I wondered where it came from. I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye go in the side door but I thought I was just hallucinating.

I borrowed a live trap from one of my friends, who is in a wheelchair, to catch her. I have no idea what possums eat. I assume about anything.

But anyway...
 
Here's good advice:

Another thing you might want to take into consideration is that possums are scavengers. They eat anything. If a possum is in the road, chances are he's there looking for lunch. Therefore, it's best to catch them alive if at all possible and feed them corn for a few days to clean them out real good before eating them.

:p :D

I think that's shrimp...or mussels or something. :)
 
Everything will go for peanut butter on bread in a live trap.



Chicken bones from your last meal work well too.
 
Canned cat food should work well, too . . .


since it smells like dead stuff.


Which is why the house monster gets dry food.

Going with the cat food. 1 seafood and 1 chicken. Pop the top and I don't even have to touch it. I'll start with the seafood and if that works I'll have the chicken for dinner tomorrow. :)

Hey-Zeus-fucking Christo, do you want to trap it or turn it into a pet???


As the man says, they'll eat garbage!

Canned cat food or crunchy kitty kibble. This, from unwelcomed experience, has worked when I needed to do such a similar thing as this.

Eww. Just eww!

This, too, food-wise.

It's living rent free in my garage kinda like I do in Rob's brain. :)
Hahaha! God, I needed that laugh. Thanks. :D

Possums are actually good to have around. They eat a lot of the insects that we as humans don't like; ticks, roaches, etc.

So don't kill it, get a wildlife rescuer to come and relocate it.

How about we relocate it to your garage. :)

Ya know, that possum could be an undocumented worker. Trump will come after him. Better declare your garage a Sanctuary garage.
