Does anyone have one?  I plan on getting one for my next pet, but I have to wait a while, I'm at my pet limit right now.

We do have those as pets over here in the UK but they are a specialist pet and are super expensive to buy. I've seen pictures of them though and they are super cute Smile

I was the same with chinchillas. I wanted some for years but waited due to wanting to have my own home and animal room and not knowing enough about them so i researched for 5 years and last year i finally took in two rescues who needed a home and they two fantastic little creatures who i wouldn't be without Very Happy

I wouldn't look at the time as waiting use it for research it really makes the time go by quicker Wink

Prices i've seen over here for opossums are £80 each which would be roughly $160 or £150 for a pair which is $300 so quite expensive  Shock
