What time of year do possums have their babies?

Possums typically have their babies during the spring and summer months, which can vary by region but generally falls between late winter and early summer. Female possums give birth to tiny, underdeveloped young that crawl into their mother's pouch to continue growing. After about two to three months, the young possums start to venture out of the pouch but continue to ride on their mother's back for additional weeks before becoming fully independent.
