Update 1st August 2014

There has been hardly any change since the last update. This counts as good news because it means everyone is still healthy and happy. Kiki, Oz and Wasabi are still visiting regularly. Dexter, Prok and various ringtails are also around, but none are any closer to tolerating human company.

Oz - 31^st July 2014

Oz continues to monopolise Box 7.

Update 17th July 2014

Kiki, Oz and Wasabi have been visiting regularly. Dexter and Prok have been seen around the place but still shun human company.

Kiki - 15^th July 2014

Update 21st June 2014

Wasabi has been visiting regularly. He and Oz tolerate each other reasonably well.

There have been several other ringtails seen about the place, but these have been difficult to identify. Tilda and Ruby are probably amongst them.

Silly Searches

One of the fun things about having a web site is looking through the statistics and finding the weird search search terms that lead people to it. Unfortunately, Google are now starting to block this information (presumably for devious commercial motives), so this activity will soon become a thing of the past.

Anyway, while I still have the chance, I thought I'd share some of the search terms used on the Possum TV webcam server and Youtube channel (for some reason Blogger logs almost nothing).

For the most part, people are interested in possum sounds, possums mating or possum mating sounds. The majority of the search terms are therefore pretty predictable.

However...

Update 31st May 2014

Oz is now independent of Kiki. They generally visit the house at different times, and Kiki chases Oz away when she see him. Hopefully Oz won't be chased away for good until springtime.

Oz - 30^th May 2014

Update 13th May 2014

Kiki and Oz are regular visitors.

Update 19th Apr 2014

Wasabi has been seen again. He is healthy and his tail injury continues to improve.

Wasabi - 19^th April 2014

Update your bookmarks (again)!

If you have the possum webcam site at possum.dyndns.tv bookmarked, you will need to change the link to http://possum.tv.

I've just been informed that DynDNS are cancelling their free accounts from 7^th May 2014, which means that any links to the possum webcam server at http://possum.dyndns.tv will (presumably) stop working after this date - unless I move to a paid account. Since I now have the possum.tv domain, and the dyndns domain name wasn't a very good one to begin with (I only got it because it was free), there's no reason to pay to keep it alive.

For what it's worth, I have temporarily set up possum.dyndns.tv to redirect to possum.tv, but this will stop working when possum.dyndns.tv dies.

Wasabi is back!

Just a quick note to say that Wasabi has been seen tonight for the first time since his release from hospital over three weeks ago. He looks healthy and is still as friendly and happy as ever.

Wasabi - 6^th April 2014

Update 4th Apr 2014

The young ringtail who visited last time has been given a name: Batgirl. She is brave and athletic, and when her name was mentioned to her, she responded with an energetic leap onto a nearby branch, as if saying that she likes the name.

Batgirl (all she needs is a cape) - 31^st Mar 2014

Batgirl (who is probably the daughter of Tilda and Wasabi) seems to like humans; she tends to come closer when humans are around, whereas other ringtails usually retreat, but she doesn't accept food. It's probably good that a young ringtail sticks to natural foods anyway.
