He is still very young so he just needs to be in a pouch at the moment, which I Carry with me. He comes out for play time but goes back in as he gets tired very easy! I wanted to put him in the wild after he was old enough but unfortunately he wouldn't survive if I did that because he was too young when he had to come into my care. Poor little fella was found in a shed with a cat, and the person didn't know how to raise one so they gave him to me. When he is older ive got a big avery that I will fill with native plants and trees, and he will sleep in there, but hang out with me most of the time. He is so clingy because he thinks I'm his um haha it's very hard work raising a possum! So tiring :/
Oh, I thought he was a funny looking rat. I figured it was because of the way he was sitting. I was going by the tail and ears.
Where do you keep him?

I used to have a rat too he was my best friend. But having this possum is pretty cool too he is my first native animal. They aren't to be kept as pets but I had no choice. He was pretty much dead when he came to me. Had to bottle feed him and everything. But yes he is so cute
They're so cute as adults too it seems Didn't thought about looking at your profile to see where you were from
Native Australian marsupial
He's so cute !! Do you know which species it is?
