Vinnie Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 wrong time of year I believe to get one of those, unless some one all ready has a tame one to offer. I'm sure you can find them from June / July in there mothers pouch's, but you would probable want one just a bit older than that to tame I've had a pet one before, really funny pets sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 what do you want a young possum for?? as a pet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Or is there a young possum you need shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Go out just as the willow buds open in early spring. There will be possums everywhere and the babies are just getting hair. Shoot every possum you see and chances are you will find a youngster, plus you are doing your bit for the environment You will see the tummy moving even though the mum is dead. Reach into the pouch and pull it out, they look EXACTLY like gollom off lord of the rings :lol: and it will move, hiss and mutter under uder its breath just like gollom does too If you are getting one as a pet, get a male because they keep other possums off your section (only really matters if you have fruit trees) Put it in a sock or a coat pocket until it is ready to face the world, and watch out for cats, they love baby possums We had one that slept in an old broken down car. It ate its fill of the fruit, but that was nothing in comparison to the increase in the amount of fruit we got once he had grown up and made a territory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 can you eat a possum? I understand the possums down your way are different from the possums here in the states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 You can indeed, they have the same texture as rabbit but with a stronger flavour In my opinion they don't taste good enough to be worth the hassle of preparing them, but it all depends on the situation You guys have cool possums that play dead. In NZ the only good possum is a dead possum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pufferfishnz Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 yes ive had a pet one before. she was wonderful. loved her to bits. a real character. wouldnt hesitate in having another. my last one grew up with 2 cats and she was convinced she was one too. it was funny, and very cute. yes they do eat a heap of fruit. plums with red flesh seemed to be her favourite. they have their breeding season in spring and autumn. so june/july there should be a reasonable sized one out there. I'll get my partner and his mates to go out and shoot some possums. that'l probably be the best answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
