I put this out every night for the opossums that visit my yard. Apparently, they didn't get the memo that opossums will eat anything. They pick and choose what they like, the dried fruit and mealworms, and leave most of the kibbles, but later a young raccoon comes and eats whatever is left so it all works out for the good. I have purchased this product before and will definitely purchase it again. I purchase the 15lb size and keep it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. -Donald R

I rescued an abandoned baby opossum and was concerned that he might not be getting the proper nutrition from the KMR and baby foods I was feeding him. I stumbled upon the exotic nutrition website while researching his needs. At first he was reluctant to eat a new and different food, but I’ve begun mixing Opossum Complete with his scrambled eggs and boiled chicken (he also loves the bone!) and his enthusiasm for the new diet improves daily. It seems his overall health is improving and his bowel seems to be regulating. He does get a calcium supplement daily, but I’m much more at ease now that he has a nutritional staple. Thank you Exotic Nutrition! -Julie H

I think I’m on my 5th 15lb bag of this food. My three possums love it. I’ve been giving it to them since they were tiny babies. They are now full grown and thriving. I love that there’s an easy food I can give them to meet their high calcium nutrition needs since dog and cat foods are protein based and offer little to no nutritional value for possums. I recommend giving it to them as a daily staple at every meal and then offer a differing variety of fruits, vegetables, eggs or meat on the side with it. Your possums will love it and they’ll be getting the unique calcium rich nutrients they need to grow big and strong and avoid ailments like MBD. To me, the price is a little steep but the company that makes it offers free shipping, frequent discount codes and it’s worth it to know that all my possum’s needs are met in a food they clearly love. I recommend this to all possum owners. -Caroline G.

My opossums love it, especially when soaked in a little bit. It is a must of you have opossums. The results I have had raising strong babies and maintaining/rehabilitating adults using this food as a base diet has been fantastic! It helps so much with lessening the risk of MBD! I also mix it with the insectivore pellets and for my the lil ones going on to soft foods I soak in the marsupial replacement formula. They go nuts over it! - N. Vanzandt

Although our opossum is not crazy about the food, he does like it and finishes what he is given.
Although he was found almost newly born and had deformed and paralyzed back legs, he has grown and done very well after 1.25 years as a guest in our home.
Thanks, Exotic Nutrition for excellent customer service, fast shipping, and a great product! -Mxy

Great product! Our possums and foxes love this food. Very high quality food. Your woodland animal friends will be very appreciative and you will know you are feeding them a balanced quality food.
One of our possum visitors was getting nutrition issues and had been limping so we started giving this food and he has greatly improved and is no longer limping. He/she has invited some friends along too which is fine. - Lillinonah P.

Possums are amazing creatures but it’s heartbreaking that they tend to only live for 2-4 years. But if you avoid letting them become obese and give them the right diet and exercise, they can live more than 4 years. Sometimes up to 6-7 years. That’s why I order this stuff from Exotic Nutrition. I’m not a spokesperson for the company and have no relationship with them (other than being a customer) and I receive no compensation from them. It’s just the truth. Thank goodness for Exotic Nutrition. God bless. - Jason B.

I feed the wild possums when natural food sources are low, especially over winter. I do feed them sporadically throughout the rest of the year so I know they are safe, have proper nutrition to rear their young and they help keep the snakes away! They are not pets by any means, and I do not have any contact with them. I set their food out along the path I have seen them travel and use a wildlife camera to keep an eye on them. This product is great for my needs. - Cali C.

Mine likes it well enough, although I can't say for sure that he loves it. It's his main food and he usually eats it all when I feed him. (What he does love for sure is grapes, these are rationed out as treats.) I am satisfied with the Opossum Complete and plan to keep buying it, in the large 15 pound bag. This size bag lasts nearly 3 months. -Roger C.

Our rescued and partially disabled opossum loves this Exotic Nutrition Opossum Complete! As soon as we put the food-filled bowl in his habitat, he quickly makes his way to it and eats it right away with gusto and does not stop until it is totally eaten! He also loves the Fluker's freeze-dried crickets as an extra treat. He would not have survived in the wild, and this food laid the foundation for his survival. He is thriving after 6 months now and is getting bigger by the day! The food arrived quickly and in great shape. We are also very thankful it is offered in a large package which made this expensive food more affordable. We would love suggestions on balancing the protein excess and calcium/phosphorus balance, as some have mentioned.

If you have an opossum you know how difficult it can be to get the right nutrition these creatures need. This mix is a life saver when life is busy. I have been incredibly busy the past month and giving my opossum this food primarly and he is not displaying any signs of MBD. He does not like to eat veggies, so I mix this as a staple. I put the recipe below. I make a large batch and put individual servings in sandwich bags before freezing. Each evening I put the next days servings in the refrigerator. I puree it all together so he cannot eat around the veggies. I supplement with mixed bugs as treats. -Jamie B.
Babies: 1/3 cup 3x a day - 1/2 cup 2x a day as they grow.
Help prevent MBD in possums when feed daily.
For Opossums 200 grams & bigger:
5 cups Opossum Complete
1 bag frozen Mix Vegetables (food processor - 2 lbs)
1 Gerber's baby food - Green Beans
1 Gerber's baby food - Apple Blueberry
4 tbsp French Vanilla Yogurt - 1 small Yoplait
*mix after adding each ingredients to the batch
*place half in frig & freeze the other half until needed
........ feed morning & night - 1/3 cup per each
........ feed small amount of assorted fruit on side
........ feed extra protein 2x wk (quail egg or salmon)
*boiled chicken bones or neck can be given for calcium

My opossums get lots of veggies and the occasional egg or chicken as well as the Opossum complete.

I appreciate the super fast delivery and helpful customer service associates. Thanks Exotic Nutrition!! -Samantha T.

It can be difficult to obtain the correct ratio of nutrients for opossums. This mix already has the correct ratio without needing to make "Peters Food" my opossum has been eating this diet for about 3 months and has no signs of MBD. I highly recommend for anyone. I still supplement with bones, crickets and bugs as a snack. -Jamie B.

My opposum is about 15 weeks I believe, it transitioned to this food after formula. I did purchase the instectivore-fare also but I dont want to overload the opposum with protein. The diet is the most difficult thing with opposum and I'd just hope a balanced ratio staple food is made soon. If this is only for a certain age of opposum, the bag should be labeled as such. Maybe my opposum is too young for this?

My 2 non releasables absolutely love it. I soak it and use it to make a puree for a my female who I found hit by a car suffering from head trauma. She will only eat completely smooth baby food consistency foods. This is easy to blend into that for her adding baby food veggies and unflavored pedialyte for the right consistency. She loves it. My young male transitioned easily to this diet eating it dry, adding cut up fresh veggies in with it and is always eager at meal time. I would highly recommend this diet to any opossum person. -Rebekah L.

It's just a bag of powder with a few orange and yellow chunks of fruit. I'm sure it's made from good intentions but I feel like I wasted almost 20$ for a bag of powder it came inside a box box was not damaged so it didn't happen during shipping its like someone taking a hammer smashing dog food in a bag then grinding it with a mortar and pestle. Disappointed this was first time I ever ordered from here. Only thing I can do is blend it into yogurt or something for them maybe add a drop water to make some food paste for them. This was absolutely not what I expected. Sorry exotic nutrition for this review but this is the truth of what I wasted money on thanks for the quick shipping though. I love my girls and want them to have at least something decent from the picture this wasn't supposed to be powder ? -Megan l.
[Note from Exotic Nutrition: Customer has been contacted about issue resolution. To future customers - Each bag is sifted before packaging to minimize powder. This is a granular diet, so it can be more fine that other types of foods, and release powder (<5%) during movement in transit. If larger portion of food ever arrives powdery, please forward photos to sales@exoticnutriiton.com for issue resolution. If you're looking for a full-pellet diet with zero powder, we would recommend the Premium Insectivore Diet. This food consists of long, cylindrical pellets made with chicken-based protein that is very popular for Opossums.]

This is the girls (opossums) favorite dry kibble, being a bit spoiled, they do pick out the dried fruit bits before eating the other morsels. Do to their age (4yrs +), and weight (plump), I alternate this with the insectivore diet, and other dry kibble, to supplement their staple of: fresh foods; vegi’s, boiled eggs (with shell), etc. -Kathryn R.

When I first got my opossum she absolutely loved this stuff and it kept her nice and healthy. Unfortunately, once I gave her a little taste of cat food kibble to try she became spoiled and didn't care for the Opossum Complete anymore. It has all the necessary ingredients that an opossum would get if they normally consumed pinkies, insects, etc. If your opossum likes this stuff, stay with it and don't try anything else or they'll start being picky like mine is ( still love her though!)
