| Sasha's latest baby looking out of Box 7 - 14th July 2016 |
If you are new to this site, a Baby Possum Alert is when (to quote a previous post):
There is a brief period of time (maybe a couple of weeks) when a baby possum is not yet old enough to back-ride during the night, but is old enough to come out of the pouch during the day. This is the most interesting time to watch the box cameras, because the baby has been asleep in the pouch all night, and therefore is full of energy during the day and up to all sorts of mischief in the nestbox.The possum boxes may be viewed at http://possum.tv/box_overview.html; click on the box you are interested in to get streaming video of that box. The baby is more likely to be active in the afternoon when it's warmer.
At most, you might get to see this a couple of times a year, so now is the time to watch.
Sasha's baby is still very young - only just getting fur - and not yet capable of the full range of naughtiness of a baby brushtail, but is still leaving the pouch every day to climb over Sasha and explore the box. If Sasha keeps using the boxes (she is normally in either box 4 or 7) and doesn't decide to sleep in the garage door instead, we should be seeing the little one playing up for longer than the two weeks I mentioned above.
