Default my female short tailed opossum.........

hi people,

i have finally got my hand on a short tailed opossum, iv had her for a couple of weeks now, shes doing fine and had settle in well. it took me ages to get hold of one, and now im looking for a male to hopefully breed with her, as this is proving hard to find one, i am putting in an offer to anyone who has a male that would be willing to breed with my female for half of the litter.

thanks

chris

Love to see pics I am hopefully picking up a female this week for my Oliver. Am totally excited

I am a bit dubious about studding Oliver out, though, because of the damage they can do to eachother during mating.

Yes, but there is more likely to be damage to MY Oliver (the males end up the worse for wear)... I am taking steps to reduce this, but until I know if my plan will work, I'd be very wary of letting somebody else's female hurt my Oliver.

Yup... If my plan works, it may be possible, but I want to see if it'll work first.

To the OP: How old is your new girlie?
