>>2463798Couple years back, I relocated some juvenile possums from my Mom's basement, where they'd set up camp (probably dropped off their by momma) and were emerging each night through the house onto the first floor, and then out the cat door.
Deployed a Havahart trap baited with cat food, and they'd take the bait almost immediately. Caught all five in the span of maybe an hour. They shit and pissed everywhere in their panic, so I bathed them by hand.
I then put them in the tub by hand and released them by hand, because possums don't bite creatures their own size or larger except in the most unusual circumstances. Their survival strategy is pacifism/playing dead.
Literally the least-scary, most helpful to humans (scavenger, and kills tons of vermin), least-threatening bro out in the wilds. Their faces are gnarled and creepy because it helps their death mimicry look more authentic.
