I rescued him when I was like 11. I'm 14 now. He was a WILD THANG when I got him but I worked with him a lot and he tamed down in four days. On day one, I couldnt touch him. On day four, I had him riding on my shoulder. He was a good pet when I did have him although I wouldnt reccommend them as pets as they have a very strict diet. I have a kinkajou now which is in the procyonidae or raccoon family and he is way better! Easier to handle and easier diet. But his temperment was better than a dog. I couldnt have asked for more, but my house cat sure could have!

That's a good sized Opossum. Here in NY they get up to 15 lbs. He needs a big running wheel. Ops love them
Good luck
