Introduction to Opossum Complete
With the guidance and advice of a Ph.D. in animal nutrition, Opossum Complete has been formulated to provide a healthy chicken and insect-based protein source for your opossum.
Features
- High Calcium: The high ratio of calcium in the insects (BSFL) helps to prevent calcium deficiencies.
- Fruit Variety: Dried natural apples, blueberries, cranberries, and papaya are added as fruit sources.
- Complete Diet: Blended with essential vitamins and minerals into an easy-to-feed complete diet.
- Natural: Wholesome natural ingredients including whole insects and dried fruits.
- Nutritious: Contains the recommended nutrition necessary for proper growth and development of pet opossums.
- Preventative: Balanced Ca:P ratio (2:1) to help prevent MBD.
Feeding Recommendations
Opossum Complete should be offered daily as a staple diet. Supplement the diet with high-calcium vegetables (leafy greens, squash, sweet potato) and occasional protein sources like insects, fish (with bones), eggs (with shells), or chicken. Opossums have a large appetite and a slow metabolism. If feeding free choice, carefully monitor their food intake while encouraging activity. Adjust the amount fed to ensure optimum body weight. Always provide clean, fresh drinking water.

Good food source
Great product !!

Itâs a great way to add diversity to your possumâs diet.
My possum eventually started liking this food. It seems very nutritious and filling. She also loves fresh fruits like blackberries and pears, apples, blueberries, cherries. Possums love mushrooms too. Fruits have a lot of sugar and try not to give them too much if it, they also shouldn’t have dairy, almonds, chocolate, raisins, onions, processed food and especially cake can be deadly to them. Anything that is bad for your dog is triple bad for these little guys. So thatâs why I like this food as a way to diversify her diet and limit the fruit sugars. Still you should spoil them with lots of fresh options. They only live about 3 years so letâs make sure they have happy lives!

Must be tasty
The opossum we rescued loved this stuff.

Opossums love it!
This stuff is so good, the opossum came into the house through the dryer vent just to get more.
Canât be left out in the sun or they will crack after a month of having one. It cracked on us while draining our tank. Needless to say we had a mess they say they do not dry rot but that is not the case. –

Got for our little orphaned opossum. I have been worried about her calcium intake and now that she is able to crunch on hard foods such as this mix, I feel like I can relax. She still drinks her Exotic Nutrition opossum replacement milk out of its own serving dish beside this dry mix. I can see the insects and dried fruits in the mix, which is great. Since she only eats such a tiny amount it’s a great value for the money. I supplement with sardines canned in water, applesauce, peeled apples, etc.

A real treat will purchase again
We live in the country and have lots of wildlife visitors to our property especially opossums that come in search of something to eat. Knowing they need more nutrition than just scavenging for scraps and bugs I chose this product for its complete nutritional benefits. Iâm giving it a four out of five star because of the packaging not being the best. The ziplock type bag breaks after just one or two openings making you have to store the food in another container to keep it fresh, but overall itâs a good product. The opossums love it !! Just wish theyâd do something about the packaging. Also not a whole lot of food for the money.
