Update 10th Mar 2018

All of the visiting possums are healthy with no visible injuries. Arrow has now been out of the pouch for a bit over six months and this is the time that young males start to get chased out of the area, although this varies quite a bit (the longest time was about a year for Kiki's baby Comet).

Although there are no particular signs that Sasha is making efforts to chase him off, he might disappear at any time, so I'll post some more photos of him while I have the chance.

Sasha and Tarzan are still refusing to sleep in any of the possum boxes. Often they will sleep on top of Box 7 in the garage.

Koji has been visiting more often, but Zoë hasn't been seen for a couple of weeks and the babies Akira and Nikita somewhat longer. I shouldn't be worried about them since they were never regular visitors although it would be good to see them again soon.

[Update 11^th March: Akira and Nikita were seen leaping around the trees tonight.]

Marlowe, the dominant male brushtail, hasn't been seen at all so far this year. In the past he only visited occasionally, so it's possible that the abundance of natural food in the garden over summer has kept him away from the house. It is possible he may start visiting as the weather cools down.
