Anyone knows how much does Monodelphis domestica / Gray short-tailed opossum cost in petshops?
I've had them.
They aren't bad but they ain't great.
>they have a specialized diet that is pricey and must be ordered and supplemented with a bunch of other
shit
>not mean but not affectionate or cuddly. They don't care
>you have to move very slowly around them. Move a finger too fast and they go in defensive mode. They come out of it just as fast but you'd be surprised how easy it is to spook them
>live 4-8 years
>I never got bit but their teeth are very strong. One of mine ripped through reinforced cardboard and escaped within seconds
I wouldn't get them again. Their diet is a pain and there is just better small animals out there.
I work with animals and I'm asking because I can get few hundreds of them in Europe relatively cheaply and wonder for what price can they be offered in the US

Mine were $100 each. Exotics really aren't a great market here unless you're living in Florida selling primates.
