Scot (Esshup) says they make great pets. Scot?
My friend in college ran a trap line and caught a mother possum with babies that were well developed much more so than most he caught with babies. She had 5 and we bottle fed them and somehow 2 survived. He kept one and I kept one. I can say they are pretty much just like cats. They can be taught to use a litter box like a cat and are a bit more social than the average cat. They will eat anything! My possum lived 6 years before it died of unknown causes. His lived to be 8.
