If they lived more than 2-3 years in captivity and would enjoy being walked on a leash. Or carried in a snugli like a wee baby.

I would be all over that.

Same, and I should also specify “if my state allowed it” cause they don’t. And I’m not willing to move to any U.S. state where it is legal.

I also live in such a state. No opossums, skunks, ferrets, etc.
