Blossom's latest baby (her 6th) has just started emerging from the pouch
Hopefully, Blossom will keep using box 2, but check all of the boxes just in case!

Blossum's new baby is now back-riding and has been named Bisou. The little one may be female but I'm not sure about this.

Unfortunately, Blossom has been in box 3 for the past couple of days where the camera is terribly bad, but with luck may decide to use box 2 or 7 which are also in her territory.

Sprout has a baby (her first) who has just started emerging from the pouch.

It is anyone's guess whether she will continue using this box.
Also, I am going to post an update very soon. I was working on it today when I saw Sprout's baby.
The new dominant male in the area is Gandalf. Gandalf has an unusual grey coloured tip on his tail.

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

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.

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

There is a new male possum in the area and he has been named Laslo.

Blossom has a new baby (her 3rd) 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.

Blossom can be seen in Box 8 most days.
Wink's latest baby has been seen back-riding and has been named Grok. Grok is a male possum.

For the first time this year, there is a Baby Possum Alert.
Wink, the dominant female, has a new baby (her 6th) who has just started emerging from the pouch.

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. :)
I apologise for not posting an update for a while. Possum TV still lives; it's just that a combination of other work and no unusual possum news have led me to not update the blog for a while.
But before I mention the possum news, I have a request to any possum carers or other people who might have treated possums for exudative dermatitis: Does anyone know of a vet who has taken over the role of Dr Jim Pollock in supplying Ceclor for treating possums with exudative dermatitis? If so, could you please contact me via email at possumtv@gmail.com
I have no possums requiring treatment at this moment, but it would be good to be prepared for when this happens.
The main possum news is that Joule has left the area. He left in March, which is seven months since he was first seen out of the pouch. This is a normal time for youngsters to seek their fortune.

Happy holidays from Possum TV!
