No, you cannot. Their instincts are stronger than human ability to domesticate. You can nurse one until it is able to survive on it's own, but I wouldn't suggest trying to keep one much longer.

No. Possums will alwasy be wild animals, except in the case of abandoned joeys which have been hand-reared. Even then, they never truly lose their wildness.
