Baby Possum Alert

 Blossom has a new baby (her 4^th) who has just started emerging from the pouch. 

The weather is currently fairly cold and the baby is only just starting to get fur, so it won't be out and about that much. The best time to look will be midday to afternoon and when the box temperature is over about 20°C.

Blossom currently mostly uses Box 3, but unfortunately the camera in this box is pretty bad. She occasionally visits Box 2 and might decide to visit Box 7, which seems to be a favoured box for raising young.

Update 26th March 2025 - Introducing Indie and Ahab

 Introducing Indie:

Update 24th December 2024

The baby ringtails who were shown riding on their mother's back in the November blog post have been seen around a few times and I thought I'd start this post with a few photos of them.

Some bad news

I will be putting up a more positive blog entry fairly soon, but there has been some very tragic news that I have to get out of the way. Wink was found dead in the garage.

Sprout is mostly back-riding and keeps close to her mother Blossom, but occasionally will run off a short distance with food torn from Blossom's mouth.

Update 19th October 2024 - Introducing Sprout

Blossom's new baby (her 3^rd) has been named Sprout. I am not sure, but I think Sprout is female.

Baby Possum Alert

Blossom has a new baby (her 3^rd) who has just started emerging from the pouch.

It's still very young and is more likely be to out in the afternoon when it's warmer.

Baby Possum Alert

For the first time this year, there is a Baby Possum Alert.

Wink, the dominant female, has a new baby (her 6^th) who has just started emerging from the pouch.

Wink with baby in Box 7 - 26^th July 2024

Wink has been using boxes 3 or 7, but your best chance of getting a good look at the baby is when she's in Box 7 because the camera in Box 3 is in poor condition after being attacked by a kookaburra last year (I will have to post the footage of this some time).

If you see a possum without a baby in either of these boxes, don't worry; it's probably Vincent who also uses these boxes.

Also, I promise I'll put up a full Possum Update entry some time soon. :)
