Answer 1

People, PetSmart does not sell possums. The most exotic things they sell are ferrets and chinchillas.

In most places, possums are considered wild animals. This usually means that it is illegal to own them unless you have a special permit that designates you as a wildlife rehabber. But, they ARE legal in some states. Before you get one, you need to make sure that they are legal in your state, county, city, and neighborhood. Example: They might be legal in your state and county, but your city might forbid them.

When you've determined that they are legal to keep where you live, you need to find a proper breeder to get one from. Never take one out of the wild unless you are a licensed rehabber, because it's against the law. It's also hard to raise them if they have been living in the wild.

Remember that possums aren't like any other kinds of pets. They are very hard to keep and they need constant attention and supervision. They also have a complicated diet, you can't just feed them cat food. Once you get one, they are almost impossible to rehome, so you need to make sure it's something you can take care of for the rest of it's life.

If you're still interested in possums but you don't want something that is going to be as big as the Virginia possum, consider getting a Brazilian Short-tailed possum. Some people call them pygmy possums. They make great pets, I've had them before. They are like sugar gliders, only better. They don't come in white though.

Answer 2

I think opossums are considered wild animals. Therefore, if your dad wants one, he must get a permit that allows him to keep one. They're not like regular house pets. They require special care and attention.
