i was jacking the car up and i was taking off one of the wheels so i could get the breaks off and then a opsson sticks his head out from under the car and looks at me. how do i get him out? id rather not shoot it.

 

possum* if this is at all possible for you get a hose to go over ur exhaust and hold the end of the hose by the possums head,he'll be dead in a couple minutes,this is what we do when we catch skunks except their in cages and theres a bag over the cage to make it a lil easier

 

im wondering if there is a hole famly of them under there b/c the car hasnt been moved in 16 yrs and i was taking the breaks off to move the car and i dont wanna move it find a million animals inder the car.

 

im going to poke it with a stick and hope i dont get bit.

 

That really sucks. I don't know what to tell you.

 

this is what happens when you dont take proper care of your 7.

 

 

Side note: opossum and possum are both correct. You can verify this with www.dictionary.com: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=opossum & http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=opossum . Oh, and BTW, it's "brakes" not "breaks". ^^ Sorry, force of habit.

As far as getting it out, you could try baited traps or water. Loud noises more than likely wouldn't do anything but scare it to hide further into the car and poking it with a stick might make it attack you, and I don't think you'd care for a rabies shot, would you?

 

we have a trap but i think is too small, if i hit it with a bb gun what might happen?

 

Trust me, it's more scared of you than you are of it, but if cornered they will bite. They are nocturnal animals, they feed at night. That might be the best time to get to the car.

 

i was thinking that when it leaves to put chicken wire all round the car so nothing else can go under

 

With a BB gun, if you were to shoot it, at near point blank range, depending on how powerful that BB gun's pressure is, might make it sting a bit for the critter and force it into hiding. If you weren't able to hit it but hit the car instead, same deal as a noise, it'll just hide further in, possibly. That car is its hiding hole, a place it feels safe. So, getting it out with a gun, noise, or a stick, won't really work. I'd say get a garden hose and start spraying the entire underbelly of the car, or whever it may be hiding. There's not that many places it can hide that you can't get to, to where it'll give up and get out of the car.

 

it'll bounce back and hit you..lol....maby try to find a fishing net or something and get him out with that

 

im going out to ry some of these thing ill let yuo know what works

 

do these things have rabies?

 

They can. Any wild animal can.

 

then i shouldnt get too close

 

Feed him cat food and make a pet out of him =)

 

ill name him rexy

 

Swing him by the tail, see if he makes that rotary noise.

 

Another option might be to call animal control and let them deal with it.

 

one time there was an aguana(sp?) on my friends porch so we called animal control an this dudes show up and the passenger get out an is kinda retarted and has deformed hands just goes up and grabs the thing with his bare hands and puts it in a cage....that was pretty crazy...the aguana started goin all crazy in the cage after he put it in there ..it was great

 

Man, that sucks, sounds like a messy mess. Atlesat your car wasn't hit by a deer: https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...1&postcount=92
You can try to jack the car up and shoot at it? With bb or pb gun or just savage it with a bat.

 

an airsoft gun would work good-

~300 fps, 6mm plastic bb's, full auto, semi, whatever you want. I bet they'd run away from a hail of stinging bb's.

 

Call a "Possum Whisperer". tsss....tsss
