Well, this is the second baby opossum we have caught in the last week! When my husband went out to close up the chickens for the night, this little guy ran right past him. We think he was helping himself to the chicken feed and maybe even the eggs
Apparently, opossums enjoy the taste of fresh eggs and the adult opossum has been known to help itself to a fresh chicken!
Unfortunately, this little guy isn’t the last of its kind in our yard. We are still trying to catch the momma. I saw her rustling around the tomatoes one night. She is not as cute as her babies. Hopefully, we can lure her into the trap with some lunch meat, like we did her kiddos. Until then, we have been putting up the chickens early, since opossums are nocturnal. Wish us luck!
Live Traps and Safe Chickens,
