The possum is a friend and not a pest though. I hope you aren’t killing them :(

squish them very gently (and then give them treats)

Possums and Skunks may carry diseases like most wild animals, but usually only show up if there is a rat/mouse infestation around a food/garbage source.

Taming wild animals is bad for their long-term well-being around human populations, as rabies also initially causes uncharacteristically "friendly" behavior at first.

I agree people should leave nature alone whenever possible. =3

Possums are stinky bastards but I love them so much! Juvenile possums are shockingly adorable, just look at these little guys!
