Baby possun age?

Do any of yall know how old a possum would be that has turned gray but has no hair
.and its eyes are closed?

Old enough to screw up a good dirt hole set- all kidding aside, I would guess 4-5 weeks.

As old as it ever will be in my book.

How big is it? Possem the size of a mouse is about 1 month old. When born they are the size of a pencil eraser.

That would depend if it is dead or alive...

Garry-

They were mouse sized. Eyes just starting to open and they had hair. Gray.

A.momma had been hit and the babies were still.ali e so they brought them to me..im the neighborhood vet and anything else someone needs in our community.

I ended up with 2 potbelly piglets on tuesday eve.

Theyre cute. Jerrys not thrilled.

The baby possums were too far gone so they all passed away.

At least they didn't linger

many people don't realize being marsupials they can have a litter nursing in the pouch and already be cooking the next litter.

no wonder they are on 6/7ths of the continents

reproduce faster than rabbits and harder to kill than anything else that size and fit nearly anywhere

Ready to relocate to a more suitable environment...heaven

Neighbor shot one in his chicken coop it had 8 little ones 4 survived that grew to kitten size before I found them homes.

One my 12 year old shot heading towards our chickens 2 weeks back had a pouch full of pink ones, no hair, mouse size or so. No attempt was made to save them. I see it as a bonus 8 for 0ne deal and am glad they are gone. To bad more will just move in.

When they have 10-12 at a time it’s hard to keep up.

That’s a good thing about Spring and Summer trapping. Hoping we can knock the population back a little. I don’t count them in for pay totals but count them as getting them off the property. And incase anyone didn’t know, if the female dies, it doesn’t mean the “fingerlings” do.
