>>267799 Bah, that's not nice. He's got a unique charm.
>>267813 i think that it may be only due to that they're never bathed, or taken care of, and grooming isn't on their priority in the wild. The three year old one at the zoo isn't bad smelling, especially since her pen is cleaned every day. It's just like with the Ferrets and skunks, the cleaner their environment, the less they will stink.
>>267836 Protip: Opossums are less likely to transmit or become infected with rabies due to low body temperature and metabolic rate.
>>267847is right. Never had one out right attack the cat, or dog, or myself, they mostly hiss and act huge and vicious, but they're more likely to play dead... and poo on you.
Anyway, figured out a way to clean up the little guy. He still didn't care for it, but warm soaked wash cloth with a spray bottle of '5 minute grooming formula' (has aloe and jojoba) and doesn't contain soaps. I'm nervous about using soaps on such a young animal. The little bugger is sleeping now, and it's d'aww worthy.
