George, I had a close up run-in with a grown oppossum that got trapped in the garage years ago. I know what you mean about how they get scruffy. The hair on and around his head had thinned considerably so that I could see his skin, especially when the few remaining hairs stood upright with fear. It seemed as if he'd been using some kind of greasy hair gel. LOL. not a pretty sight. I was surprised when I saw Snowball up close. He still had all of his hair and it seemed relatively soft/fluffy.

Here is another pic of Trouble and the grapes. I don't think I posted this one yet. This is the only pic I got of him trying to walk out on the very thin branch with grapes at the end. As you can see the branch is dipping to 45 degrees in the pic, and he's still heading down. He didn't get much farther. The branch sunk to 50-60deg and he backed up. I circled some grapes again, black (ripe) and green. He ate both types. Between him and the cardinals not a single grape made it to the ground.
