I was raised in farm country, lots of farmers as relatives on my dad's side. Possums are abundant in that neck of the woods; however, the farmers always say to keep your distance if they are out during the day. Farmers worry about rabies if they are spotted in the day. They can by onery if cornered.
I would just keep your distance. Unless they are rabbid, they will not approach you (as Alice said). I also would not corner them or let your dog chase them/corner them. |
