No. True possums, native marsupials of Australia and New Guinea, do not eat rabbits.

However, the Virginia Opossum is often called a "possum", even though it is not related to Australian possums. These animals will eat rabbits. Opossums are omnivores and quite ferocious for their size, and will readily eat any small animals they can catch. While their diet consists mainly of carrion - many are killed every year scavenging for roadkill - they are also known to eat insects, frogs, birds, snakes, small mammals, and earthworms, as well as a variety of fruits.
