Update 2nd Feb 2014

Recently, two female ringtails were seen near the house, one with two back-riding babies and one with a slightly swollen pouch. It's always very difficult to tell who's who with ringtails, but these two look very much like Tilda and Ruby.

Wasabi is back, which is very good news. His eye looks the same as before, but he is otherwise in very good health. I first noticed him when he jumped onto a small and isolated branch (shown in the photo below) in a small gum tree, so it looks like whatever vision problems he may have are not preventing him from doing some fairly skillful acrobatics.

Wasabi spent some time peering intently into the garden, so it's possible he was looking out for danger while his girlfriends foraged nearby. Wasabi is a good father possum who takes his responsibilities seriously.

Kiki is starting to get weighed down by her baby and it looks like the little one will be back-riding within a week.

Twice so far Kiki has visited Box 7 and her baby has come out out of the pouch to climb around. The baby was first seen on Australia Day and has been named Oz. Oz looks like a little boy possum.

Amiri has yet to be chased off. He seems to have worked out that now Kiki is hampered by her baby, he can visit, so long as he keeps higher up in the trees where she can't easily get at him.
