Possie Shanty Opossum House

This opossum house is approximately 20" x 10" x 10" with a 4" entrance hole and 6.5" porch. It is made from pine and scorched inside and out to extend the life of the box. Add on our non toxic sealer for more protection.

You will need to attach the backboard and porch upon receiving your house. This is to keep it safe during transit. Directions will be sent and will be available here shortly. An electric screwdriver or drill with a Phillip's head tip will be need to complete assembly.

Install the box 8-9' up in a tree, avoiding areas of the tree that are bare. The box weighs approximately 15 pounds and should lie against the main trunk of a well established tree, with the hole facing southeast, or as much away from the afternoon sun as possible (possums are nocturnal and sleep during the day).

There is no guarantee as to who will move in your house. Animals are opportunistic house hunters and don't know a certain house is for them. You may get any number of animals living in your house.
