Introduction to Opossum Complete
Opossum Complete is a nutritionally balanced diet specifically formulated for pet opossums, developed with the guidance of a Ph.D. in animal nutrition. This complete diet provides a healthy chicken and insect-based protein source, ensuring your opossum receives all the necessary nutrients for proper growth and development.
Features
- High Calcium Content: The inclusion of insects (BSFL) provides a high ratio of calcium, helping to prevent calcium deficiencies.
- Fruit Variety: Dried natural fruits such as apples, blueberries, cranberries, and papaya are added to provide a variety of fruit sources.
- Complete Diet: Blended with essential vitamins and minerals, making it an easy-to-feed complete diet for your opossum.
- Natural Ingredients: Made with wholesome natural ingredients, including whole insects and dried fruits.
- Nutritious: Contains the recommended nutrition necessary for the proper growth and development of pet opossums.
- Preventative: Features a balanced Ca:P ratio (2:1) to help prevent Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD).
Feeding Recommendations
To ensure your opossum stays healthy, offer Opossum Complete daily as a staple diet. It is recommended to supplement this diet with high-calcium vegetables (like leafy greens, squash, sweet potato) and occasional protein sources such as insects, fish (with bones), eggs (with shells), or chicken. Given that opossums have a large appetite and a slow metabolism, carefully monitor their food intake if feeding free choice, and encourage activity. Adjust the amount fed to maintain an optimum body weight. Always provide clean, fresh drinking water.

Good stuff
Looks like a beautiful/healthy mix. That said,My possums did not go for it because they had previously had eaten dry cat food and thus there taste buds were already Persuaded Towards the cat food. If they had not had that first, I am sure they would have liked it. I am now mixing it in with the dry catfood so they get a balanced meal.

Opossum num nums
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.

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!
