Possums are not very good at finding their way home. Once they have been relocated a few miles away from their home, they will usually not be able to find their way back.

Possums are not particularly known for their navigation skills, so it is likely that they will not be able to find their way back home if you release them into the wild. However, if you do release them, make sure to do so in an area that is close to where they were found, as this will increase the chances of them being able to find their way back. If you are unable to release them yourself, contact a local wildlife rehabilitation center for assistance.
