The short answer is NO! However, if we have a very tiny dog which has been injured and is incapable of defence or movement, then an opossum MAY consider it as food. The same MIGHT be true for very young puppies that have been abandoned or lost their mother. Opossums are very opportunistic feeders, and very cautious. While their diet consists of nearly everything, they are not usually hunters. That said, they will often eat small fare such as mice, young birds, frogs, salamanders, crayfish etc. when availanble. They may also eat chickens if they can get into the coop. Opossums are very interesting and largely harmless animals and should not be killed needlessly. Watch and enjoy them.
