I used to be disgusted by Opossums but after learning a bit about them I've decided to leave them alone.
1. Opossums don't really get rabies. Although theoretically any mammal can contract the rabies virus, opossums seem somehow immune to it. It's not really ever documented in the North American Virginia Opossum (the only possum that lives in the USA). This is thought to be because the possum has a below-average body temperature, in which the rabies virus has difficulty thriving.
2. They are a large part of the wild lands "clean up crew". Opossums eat dead animals, insects, rodents and birds. They also feed on eggs, frogs, plants, fruits and grain. Opossums also eat the skeletal remains of rodents and roadkill animals. They will also eat dog food, cat food and human food waste.
3. They are immune to many snake venom's. New research shows that the marsupials might be the key to developing an antivenom that could not only save people from snake bites but from attacks by scorpions and from plant and bacterial toxins as well.
4. (And the #1 reasons I like em around) Opossums are also notable for their ability to clean themselves of ticks, which they then eat. Some estimates suggest they can eliminate up to 5,000 ticks in a season.
Fascinating Facts About Opossums You May Not Have Known
Opossums are so often misunderstood but they are great creatures to have around. They’re docile and unlikely to threaten pets or carry disease. It was once believed that they ate ticks, but that has since been disproved. Opossums do eat insects, rodents, and dead animals, so they aren't a bad...

They are hideous, invasive creatures that eat everything on the forest floor from bunnies to wild turkey egg's. They have 50 teeth and are often diseased. If you have horses, the opossum is not your friend. My chickens too eat many ticks and provide me with protein everyday - for every input dollar of feed, they lay 2 dollars worth of eggs @ 25 cents each. Having a radio on for human noise outside keeps opossums and raccoons from stealing cat food during the night. There's a place for all the little creatures, just not on my yard. A radio is preferred vs a live trap and relocation program.View attachment 4852844

How long have you kept chickens?They are hideous, invasive creatures that eat everything on the forest floor from bunnies to wild turkey egg's. They have 50 teeth and are often diseased.

We had chickens growing up. It'll be two years in May since we acquired 8 of them. We got 6 more last fall. A couple died, so there are now 11. We get 7 to 10 eggs daily. They're interesting, some with quite the personality and definitely a pecking order amongst them. One follows me around the yard.

Just curious as I dislike horses but what is the bad mix of possums and horses?They are hideous, invasive creatures that eat everything on the forest floor from bunnies to wild turkey egg's.

I get fresh ones for $2 a dozen now........chickens are assholes. They shit on everything....they get into the garden and fuck it up fast. They draw in other shitty animals (I don't have a raccoon problem anymore) they disappear.....sometimes forever.....sometimes just for two weeks....then you find her sitting on eggs......you can smell some of the eggs in that hiding spot you've never seen before......bad bad smell when it's in the 90°'s in shorts, barefoot, shirtless.....you feel bad so you pick her up, but she fights....... scratching you and then some of the rotten eggs start to explode like little genades full of sulphur jizz. Oh, and this was all in front of the cable guy....chickens are assholes
