Ring-tail possums are essentially omnivorous, meaning they will eat some types of vegetation, and some proteins.
In the wild, they eat young shoots, leaves, flowers, nectar and fruit of a variety of trees and shrubs. They also feed on insects.
Ring-tail 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.

∙ 11y agoRingtail Possums are herbivores. They feed on fruits and flowers, as well as the leaves of both native and introduced plants. They are one of the few species able to survive on eucalyptus leaves (like koalas).
Unlike many species of possums, they do not eat insects or insect larvae.
