Possums are typically able to hang in trees from a young age, around 2-3 months old, when they develop the necessary strength and coordination. However, their ability to climb and hang can continue to improve as they grow. Generally, most possums reach full maturity by about 1 year of age. Therefore, if a possum can hang in a tree, it is likely at least a few months old.
