I doubt a connection could be made with a wild one, my first possum I was very emotionally close with but we spent 24/7 together for 3 months. I bottle raised her in my shirt but she passed from a freak accident. This possum I got as an adult from a less than ideal situation and she's very wild but likes a good petting. Best I can describe their attitude is that of a snake or fish, recognizes you but really doesn't careI figured as much!! I think my words were chosen wrong haha I knwo they can't be domesticated. I guess I meant to ask if she was kept like a 'pet' or was a wild animal that one just built a connection with.
Fascinating all the same, they're adorable little buggers.
