Baby Possum Alert

 Blossom has a new baby (her 4th) 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 with baby in Box 2 - 4th July 2025

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.

    That's very exciting! The box 3 camera is a pity, but still wonderful to see a new possum baby. As an aside, will you be christening the new frequent resident ringtail soon?

      We haven't come up with a name for the ringtail yet. Normally it's easier to name possums when you meet them in person and this one keeps away from the humans, however this little persistent one does deserve a name.

      It looks like with Blossom making more use of Box 2 with the baby, the ringtail is starting to furnish Box 8 as a backup home
