You see, I live on a busy road in a city. Not much to see for wildlife other than the occasional bloated squirrel.Originally Posted by Bogertophis
Not pets, but I have some free-roaming 'possums in my neighborhood...sometimes get to see them late at night when I let my dogs out to potty before we turn in.
The last time one was on top of my fence, I went & got my 24" tongs & a small tomato (figuring she was enroute to raid my garden) & I carefully put the tomato in
front of her as she held her ground watching me, & I quietly turned out the light. I checked about 15 minutes later...she apparently enjoyed the tomato.
A shame that their natural life expectancy is really only a year, maybe two years. In captivity with optimal care? We had one live to three years at the rehab center.
I will tell you though, nothing is more entertaining than watching them get all amped up and trying to eat a large food item
