    Our short tailed african pygmy oppossum is ill, he is not eating and has lost weight, after buying him a different food. Please help me figure out what to do!

I got my STO 3 1/2 years ago and she has been an absolute dollbaby. She is one of the best pets we have ever had! I am actually going to start breeding her. Anyone interested can go to www.myspace.com/cavinesscritters for more information! =]

I just bought a short-tailed opossum 2 days ago and he has just attached to me. His name is Squiggles the Awesome Opossum. He will sleep with me and won't wake up until I get up. He's not too fond of the pugs yet, but hopefully they will get along soon!

I love Short-tailed opossums, even though you said young children should not have one. I think I can I spent months looking them up and learning about them. i have a history of caring for mice, rats, etc., so i think they would make great pets for me.
