Shmooky the opossum eats apples 

Thank you for also sharing the adorable floofer ❤️

TBCH when I saw the video was 12 years old, I knew I'd be sad clicking on it. Poor lil guys don't live all that long. Did you get another opossum?

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure that he appreciated all the love & attention that you gave him. How long did you have Shmooky for he seemed very patient. Abywho, take care & have a nice one. :D

Thank you for making this 😊❤

I'm so sorry to hear about your little friend.😢🙏 You and him had an amazing time together and you're in his heart forever together. God Bless 🙏

Truly sad that he passed away. He will be missed for sure. 😢

Thank you Gregory, Shmooky

I'll say, more than 95% of their species are immune to rabies and also from contracting lyme disease, they eat ticks and snails, also they have cute little grabby hands, if I could adopt a possum as a pet that couldn't be let back in the wild I would tbh as they're like a dog cat mixed with a ferret and a rat, also they look adorable af when they eat vegetables

gregoryy2010 There are few “bad” animals, simply those pushed out of their habitat by the relentlessly consumptive, parasitizing human population

We were bad, but now we’re good.

There are no bad animals, only our bad perceptions of them. (Except wasps, fuck wasps)

drifterpilot thanks for the ifo. I thought he was overweight.

Very welcome info thx 💕

@@godblessamerica3247 some animals just look fat when they're at their ideal weight like frogs look fat but I dissected frogs in school and they have very few fat cells inside them they have like these two little yellow strips of fat that aren't even anywhere near the skin there like around the internal organs to help keep them warm

@NenaBach, I so sorry you lost your dear companion. The life of a possum is far too short but maybe we all meet again! 🕊

@@skehleben7699 thank you for your kindness

I love opossum, sorry for your lost.​@@NenadBach

That's the only thing I hate, they don't live long. I love their breath, like major puppy breath. They are good animals. Finally being more understood because of these platforms. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for your kind words

Thank you!

Don't know either, but I am in total love with Shmooky. Kindness is one reason.

Smacky is such a cute name for a possum

true. best I've ever seen any living creature do.

dumpster i could really learn something from these possum videos

As a penalty for killing opossum, I would have that person work in the animal shelter for 10 years and all they earn would go to preserve the life of opossums. I know how you feel because Shmooky is from an abandoned nest. Thank you for sharing your story

There are Short Tailed Opossums. About the size of a hamster. Not the opossum you're probably looking for but...close enough :\

Good idea but, I would be afraid someone that kills innocent animals would sabotage the animals @ the shelter on purpose. As a penalty I would feed them to a pack of hungry Hyenas....lol.

Why do such laws even exist? Are opossums trouble for the environment in any way? To me they seem like cats just doing their thing wherever they can.

That's very sad! I was just thinking I want a pet opposum but if we can't have them as a pet in Texas, I'll just make as if the wild ones in my neighbourhood are my pets! Lol we also had a family of them in our backyard last year! Wonder where they are now.

This is true as well in Georgia. I have one that i leave catfood for outside, and snacks whenever she'll let me. Very easily spooked these critters are. But I love them. Especially since they eat ticks. 🎉🎉🎉

Yes, unfortunately that's because alot of people are uneducated about the benefits that opossums provide to us, in a natural wild environment, and in urban settings. Opossums need to be learned about how they really benefit us. They are important. On a side note, in Texas opossums are much darker in color very little white, not as cute as opossums in the Northern part of the country, and could be another reason why people are not as nice to them. But hopefully with more videos like this and education, opossums will get the respect they deserve.

I know I'm a little late here.. but thank you, kind soul, for rescuing this precious baby. I know also that people can be extremely hostile or offensive about things like this with any animal involved. Everyone's a professional and a critic, but most are solely that, a fake professional critic not worth listening to at all. But the fact is, you did a good thing saving and documenting Shmooky. He is IMMORTAL now! And Shmooky loves you, for ever in your heart. Where ever you believe animals go after passing on, Shmooky is loving and watching over you. waiting to see you again, in my beliefs. Thank you again, this time for your comment above. I may need it... I may have found my own opossum. She was tiny and no one came back for her for days.. so, here goes. Cheers To Shmooky ~187

@@itzmistah_1874 Dear Dylan, it’s never too late to read what you wrote. I have one weakness and that is that I love good souls whether it’s marsupial or human. I wish that Good speaks louder and more consistently. Today’s media in general is quite opposite so thank you for taking your time to honor our dearest Shmooky. Grateful, Nenad

@@itzmistah_1874 please forward some photos of your sweet baby opossum. They are experience for life. I know you will treat her with kindness love and respect. Equal can be recognized by equal only. Nenad P.S. Any advice you need feel free to text or call WhatsApp +1-914-557-6092 (New York)

Audrey Selking Thank you, Shmooky and Nenad

*INTENSE EYES*

I guess that he does kind of look like a cat/mouse mix,friends.He is really adorable,God bless little Smokie.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you Kimberly!

God bless you for feeling that way ♥️

So sweet of you to say it

Shmooky is free to go whenever he wants and he does go out, but sleeps at home in a secure place.

Ms chewie,had to reply because you hit a topic very close to me.My wife was called to rescue a little opossum at a shopping center by a friend who worked there. It surely was rabid.I got sent out,wife was working.Grabbed the little critter by the tail and wrapped it up in the t-shirt I was wearing.Just before they beat it to death with brooms and mops.Figured we would feed it and nurture until large enough to release.Hit the internet-1st opossum-life span in the wild "just over a year"WTF. Lifespan in captivity.....with proper diet.... several years.1st day she was with us I fed with gloves, which she never bit,put the gloves down,never used again....try that with a raccoon or feral kitten.Gave her the run of the house,she would poop and pee in the same place each nite,put down newspapers....problem solved.Time to release....she is big enough now....its the right thing to do ?? Why ??So the neighbors dog can rip her apart,so the person down the street can beat her to death when she raids his garbage can or sleeps under his shed, so someone can run her over purposely!"Petunia" has been with us over 3 yrs,a member of our family who makes many trips to Lowes,Home Depot and Bed,Bath and Beyond.Petunia climbs dog steps each nite to snuggle under the blankets and sleep against my wife.3 days ago she had extensive surgery to remove 2 large fatty tumors.In a lot of pain-never an aggressive act- if anything I would say that she appreciates the extra food,care, water and tenderness.With us over 3 years now.....how do you put a price on "roadkill"????

Benny Hill yes, i think all animals we can consider pets nowadays come from wild ancestors that we domesticated over time. And even with the ones that we've come upon and decided to make them pets more recently, after a while living with human and receiving food, care and love," captivity" becomes less and less relevant.

MrJerryUrt sorry for late response, such an amazing story you have there. I believe you did the right thing out of love and there's no price we could put on a life, no matter human's or animal's. I hope Petunia is doing well. I was just lucky enough to have a possum came across my back yard once.

Wonderful story! Thanks for sharing. 😊

Thank you Silvana! True!

Oh yeah, and his ears are too small for a normal opossum.

Benny Hinn He lives with a cat and a dog in the same house, no problem.

That is what the look like when they become obese.

***** Couldn't agree more Ann

***** Except in the animal kingdom, these differences can mean life and death. If his ears are smaller and his snout is shorter, it could mean he could have trouble sensing predators. He's perfectly fine the way he is, but the point was it's good that he has a loving home because in the wild he could run into issues if his senses are affected.

Awww !!!! ❤

Nenad Bach Cuteness overload! I have many possums in my backyard and we put up nesting places for them. We feed them and they also feed from our many fruit trees. They are so lovely.

I WANT ONE 👨
