| Nikita - 24th Mar 2020 |
It is really good news to see her again. There are a lot of dangers in the world for a little ringtail possum - including a couple of cats which visited the yard a few weeks ago - and it's very good to that she's happy and healthy.

Frequently ringtails have patches of thinning fur on them - which is said to be due to stress - but Nikita's coat is in perfect condition.
By the way, the photos above were taken just after midnight on the 24th, whereas the photos below were taken before midnight on the following night, so they all have the same date but are actually from two consecutive nights.

Nikita has babies in her pouch but they are very small at this stage.

Sasha and Rahmet were there during Nikita's first visit. Sometimes ringtails are cheeky to brushtails, and sometimes brushtails are aggressive towards ringtails, but this time they gave each other some space.

Rahmet is now sometimes back-riding.

And sometimes not, although he usually keeps close to Sasha.

It doesn't come across in the photos, but Rahmet's tail is particularly fluffy - the fluffiest I've ever seen on a baby.
