    I can’t imagine them as pets. The ones I’ve seen in my backyard move really slow when they see people. They also seem to occasionally pass out if you move to fast around them. They mostly just want to hide until you go away so they can go back to eating ticks.

      Do you…not know what possums are famous for?

        Yes, it’s just weird to see them do it. Based on what I’ve read, they’re not actually “playing” dead, their body literally knocks them out and they can’t move.
