Virginia Opossums breed two or three times each year, from February through September. Opossums are the only marsupial in the United States; babies are born after a short 13-day gestation period, and crawl into their mother’s pouch, where they nurse continuously and grow for the next two months. The average litter contains six to nine babies, though opossums may have as many as 13 babies.
