This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That shouldn't make you less pro-bunny. It should make you more pro-possum. It's an ecosystem. We threw it out of wack, but there are things that help keep tick populations down.
Possums don't actually eat ticks (but we should still be pro-possum for other environmental reasons)

Turns out they will eat ticks in a study that only fed them ticks.
And they don't even have proof that they ate those ticks- odds are the ticks were all embedded in their skin lol
Unfortunately the thing about opossums, as well as chickens and guinea fowl, being tick control may not be empirically supported.

I would love to be proven wrong if anyone else has other info :(
Also chicken right?
Don't want to say where I'm at, but we don't really have possums in my area :/
