What do possums eat in winter?

Possums are not the same as opossums. Possums live in Australia and nearby islands, so they are able to eat the same basic foods in winter as they do in summer, as food supplies remain plentiful. Possums are essentially herbivorous and insectivorous, meaning they eat a variety of foods. Possums' feeding habits range from omnivores (the Common Brushtail possum) to specialist browsers of eucalyptus (Greater Glider), insectivores (Mountain Pygmy Possum) and nectar-feeders (Honey Possum). In the wild, they eat young shoots, leaves, flowers, nectar and fruit of a variety of trees and shrubs. They also feed on insects. Possums also enjoy a feed of bread and honey put out by helpful suburban homeowners. However, it is best not to feed possums as they may become dependent on people for their food supply.
