I dont know why, how, or WTF, but there is a fucking POSSUM in my basement. ???
My house is clean, and and there is nothing down there for him but maybe some boxes. I guess he got there from under the neighbors porch. Ok, it is 6 am and im a girl, and im alone. I got a fucking baseball bat, though !!! Im just one person and those things can have rabies, im not fucking with it alone.
I have to wait 2 more hours before animal control opens, and im pretty sure they charge money....
this is going to be a fun day.....

theres a famous norwegian childrens song (a bit psychedelic at that) about a badger in the ceiling (the tunnel ceiling. the singers live in a tunnel!)
they then specify that there is no crocophant or eledile, but a badger in the ceiling :M

No, you're better off letting animal control deal with it. :laugh:
Also, after it's gone, you might want to check your basement to see how it got in. :chin:
-
I think it got in from some sort of crawlspace under the neighbors porch that is directly over my basement.
I have to wait at least another hour before agencies start opening up.
What a pain in the butt :(

Yeah, but you're safer waiting. It might be rabid. Just post here while you wait! :thumbup:
-
ok :)
First Im going to call my brother to see if he can help me, but he is a total asshole and will probably say no
Then im going to try the fire department as I dont think they charge money.
the cats are SOOO MAD. They are just sitting by the door with very serious expressions on their faces
I can hear it moving around down there. It is giving me the creeps.
-
Animal control is your best bet. Other things to do is leave a door or window to the basement open so it can get out easy and make a lot of noise. I have to chase them out of places I am working at times. Possums are not that friendly to have as pets I had a raccoon for awhile as a kid. Good luck
-
:) thank you
There are no doors down there, i think there is a hole though somewhere, some sort of crawlspace. That is the landlords problem not mine :)
I dont know if that thing is smart enough to find its way back outside though that.
-
How many cats do you have? You are welcome to post pictures of them. :)

Definitely tell the landlord; in fact, call him first! HE should pay animal control, it is his property.
He should also fix whatever opening allowed the possum to get in.
-
See the thing is the landlord is not very reliable, I probably wont be able to get a hold of him
but im going to try
Oh and I have 3 cats. Very cute. Ill post pics soon :)

Keep a receipt from the animal control people and send a copy to your landlord. IMO he should reimburse you,
though I don't know what the law would say. If he's at all honorable, he ought to!
And I look forward to seeing your cats' pictures in the photo thread. :)
-

3 cats, excellent. :) Looking forward to pics.
-
Ill try ! My landlord is a jerk :S
Oh and I have 2 pet rats too. They play with one of the cats. They chase each other on the couch. its cute :)
-
I once had a rat but it bit me so I gave it away to someone else.
-
awww :( yeah some rats are like that
Ive always had rats
One of them bites. Draws blood, too. I think she likes the taste. The other one is really nice and sweet, though. We let her out and she runs back and forth on the couch
-
I do like rats but after that experience (I had to get a tetanus shot) have never gotten another one.
-
I have a possum in the roof space and it over the last two nights was causing merry hell. I have not heard it tonight which means two things. Either it has found out how it got in and escaped or.....its dead.....

Good times……..Good times…………
Back in the day circa 1993 when I rented a room in a big old house on the East side of downtown Indy, I was in my room (which was in the attic) with the windows open enjoying a spring night tripping on Robitussin. (1st and only time).
I noticed something out of the corner of my eye in the other side of the room by the window and then saw it go under my dresser.
Went over there to find a opossum under my dresser. So I got a yard stick and poked at it with the stick…..no affect. Poked harder……it just sat there staring at me while snot was dripping from its nose into my floor. Kept at this and it started hissing at me.
Finally decided to move the dresser and then went after it with the stick. Finally, it scurried back out the window.
Later that year I moved to a room in the basement and got a squirrel that a cat chased in there through an open window……I’ll take the opossum over a super hyper scared shitless squirrel.

That's no possum. It's a big giant rat! :P
-
possum in the basement... is this sexual innuendo?

Hey eris, wondering what happened to the possum.
-
How did you get it out?
-
hi everyone :orly: :zoinks:
There is no animal control in my county so I had to call the department of wildlife, and it was 150$ :( It took them like less than 10 minutes, my basement isnt very big. They used this hook thing and put it in a cage
very boring.......and expensive :( And my landlord never called me back

If he never returns your message, you *could* just write your next rent check for $150 less than usual! :zoinks:

Yes this is something that he should pay for. Also Look around the perimeter of the house for the entrance it used to get in. They can fit through smaller holes than you would think and it's best to block it off even if it's just temporarily till the landlord takes care of it
-
$150 is expensive! I hope you get the money from your landlord, doesn't sound promising from what you have said about him though.

I was expecting possum pr0n. :P
-
No noise on the possum front here so it has either got out or died. Silly animals

And if they don't become naughty, they become knotty. And then we've got to untangle them and naught them properly.

hi everyone :-*
It would be like impossible to reply to every single one of you ( and I really want to ) individually , but that would take me like a half hour, so I am not going to reply to anyone
oh, and THAT THING WAS HUGE. It is probably dead now. heh.

why?
-
It was captured. I think they put them to sleep when that happens. I really don't know what happened. Maybe it was given to a nice family.
-
I don't think that wild possums are adoptable.

It's more likely that they test it for rabies and other diseases. If it's healthy they probably set it loose in a wild area.
-
:lol:
and
i hope they set it loose. i dont want it to really die :( poor thing was probably scared. i would have killed the motherfucker though if it got too close to me or attacked me. But i dont want an animal to get hurt.

Oh they took that thing away the same day. It is either long dead, or forgot that day and now lives in someone elses basement.,
