Is Contrac toxic to opossums?

I have a Bucket of Contrac that has been very effective with the rats. Recently, a possum has been breaking into the bait stations and stealing the bait. Will this harm the possum? This is a big problem for me because I have to clean up his crumbs so that other animals (chickens) don't get into them.

Answer:

Contrac Blox Rodenticide is not labeled for possums but if they were to eat enough of it it could harm them.  It doesn't sound like your stations are secure at all to the ground or to some other structure.  You can use liquid nails and affix the station on a 1 x 1 foot paver you can buy from home depot.  This well prevent them from being moved.  Also, if you make sure the bait is secured on the rods, and the station is secure, it should prevent the possum from being able to work the bait free from the rods.
