It's slubbing time! One of our animal care team members captured this adorable moment when an orphaned opossum starting "slubbing" in her enclosure. But what is slubbing, you ask? This term refers to the act of opossums using their tongue, head, and body to mark their scent. It is a form of chemical communication used by opossums to talk to other opossums, often indicating that they enjoy or claim a particular object or area. With all this late-night slubbing, it seems like this little one has e

Slubbing - when an opossum marks their territory by licking (slobbering really) and then rubbing their face through the saliva. Opossums do this to show affection, and also to leave their scent. Our male opossum seen here was getting some exercise while his enclosure was being cleaned. The other 7 opossums in the room will definitely know that this is his table! 🐾❤️ | Millstone Wildlife Center

Slubbing is what possums do when they really love something, they drool all over it and rub their head all over it. Pinkie must really love this wrapping paper! ❤️😆 | Geneva Ross

"Slubbing" aka "slobber-rubbing" happens when an opossum really loves something and wants to put their scent on it to claim it. Opie, who was one of our educational ambassador opossums, would "slub" nearly anything you put in front of him. His favorite items to slub included really stinky shoes, freshly washed hair, trash bags, and cardboard boxes. He was such a special guy who will be forever missed! 💔 #opossum #opossumlove #slubbing #wildliferehab #werlingwildlife | Werling Wildlife Rehabilit

✨Opossums, but make it cinematic!✨ In the wild, slubbing, perched on a branch . . . This 20 seconds has it all! “Slubbing" is when an opossum licks and rubs their face on objects, essentially scent-marking them as their own, showing affection, or claiming territory. #tennessee #westtennessee #opossum #opossumfact #outofthewoodswildlife #slubbing #slublife #wildlifeeducation | Out of the Woods Wildlife Rescue & Rehab

The way #opossums will lick and rub their scent onto something is called "slubbing." We definitely approve of #slublife #urbanwildlife #wildliferehabilitation #wildliferescue | Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue

Here's a joey from 2024 showing the other kids that dish of formula is his, by slubbing it! Slubbing is a lot like scent marking, where opossums rub their saliva and scent on objects to show possession or affection. It's extra cute when joeys do it! If you like what you see here and what we do at WEST, we hope you'll support us in the #CincinnatiGivesChallenge, running now through December 11th at 5pm!

This is my Snack Lady. Not your Snack Lady, mine. -❤️Gilbert . Scent-marking, Aka “slubbing” in opossums is a form of chemical communication. Gilbert found a good scent and claimed it as his own. Guess who I had just visited right before this... I’ll give you a hint; round and floofy. . #gilbert #opossum #loves #snacklady #mine #scent #mark #slubbing #lick #slobber #slub #kisses #sorry #gusgus #shesmine | Gilbert the Opossum
