NOT FOR VIRGINIA OPOSSUMS!
NOT A COMPLETE DIET FOR A VIRGINIA OPOSSUM! The protein levels are too high, can lead to mbd if fed alone not to mention kidney failure due to the protein levels. Dried mealworms offer little to no nutritional value. Buyer beware.

The local possumss are not complaining...
I like attracting possums to my yard. I've always found them fascinating, even when they were stealing the dry catfood from my back deck. And they have a reputation for munching on ticks, which is a BIG plus in my book! So when I found I could encourage them to stay around with their very own food, of course I had to try it. I put it out with other snacks in the evening, sometimes leftovers from the table, mostly healthy stuff high in protein and calcium and low in salt. Those are sometimes left over in the morning; the Exotic Nutrition stuff is cleaned down to the bowl, like polished clean. (I use natural clay pot saucers as bowls. They are relatively cheap, shallow for easy access, non-toxic, and very tough compared with any plastics and even metal bowls).
F***
Not even close to the correct diet for an Opossum.
This may be intended to use maybe as a little snack, but this is not a proper dietary food to say the least. Opossums have an incredibly specific diet that is very hard to follow. Please do not use this food as a basis for your pet Opossum. They are HIGHLY susceptible to MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease) and if this food is fed as a primary staple, it will cause MBD, which will cause bone deformity and the onset is rather quick if a proper diet is not followed.I do appreciate the refund that was given the same exact day (not even an hour later) after dropping the return off at the local UPS store.

Good quality - very expensive
I can't complain too much because it's just generally difficult to find a good blend like this much less find it packaged. The critters love this stuff but it's just too expensive to keep purchasing it. I'll have to try and start making my own.

Too expensive
Price.. didn’t realize what a small amount it was. 50 dollars worth could fit in a shoebox with room to spare.

They love it and it keeps them healthy
Feeding baby opossum and keeping them healthy until its time to release them. This was a life safer. Literally.

Wouldn't touch it
Possum would not eat it . This may work for other people but not for me
