"My pet opossum is 6 months old. This is my first pet opossum. He is doing just great. At first he was eating puppy chow, but after contacting a rehaber we were told cat chow. He has no signs of MBD and i want it to stay that way. I have had Nigel, my pet opossum name, since May 7th. My I ask what do u feed your pet opossums. Any info will be greatly appreciated."

We feed our possums Iams premium protection kitty food, BUT that is not all we feed them. They get boiled chicken wings, twice a week, scrambled eggs, once a week, red and green grapes diced peaches and pears, every day, strawberry/kiwi ,harvest peach, key lime pie, pear Yoplait yogurt, mozzerella string cheese twice a week, even Mickie D's plain cheeseburger patties once a month, I wish that I could suggest veggies, but ours, pet or wild will not eat veggies, but yours may eat them just keep trying different ones with him. We are only allotted 2000 letters for a reply, there is alot more to this, if you want e-mail us at pherbean@msn.com. We want to help all we can. Ollie did good for about 6 months then he started going down hill, find a good vet who really cares about possums, it may take awhile, I have to drive 100miles round trip, Ollie was going about every 2 months. Keep in touch, Mom and I will be glad to help anyway we can.
