Update 6th Mar 2021

All of the brushtails are visiting and in good health. I know I say that a lot and it's probably getting tedious, but possums live dangerous lives and I'm glad every night that they turn up happy and healthy.

Update 30th May 2020

I have a correction to make: Rahmet is a female possum and not a boy. This will be Sasha's first girl after nine boys in succession.

Update 14th Feb 2020 - Possum Valentines

Nikita is back!

Nikita was last seen around the end of August of last year. When she stopped visiting, I had thought that she had either left the territory to her daughter Koru or had suffered some mishap. It's really great to see her again. It looks like she's taking after her grandfather Wasabi who would often go away for long periods of time.

She brought her date with her. I think he is Omar, although it's difficult to be certain with possums who mostly keep away from the house.

Update 18th Jan 2020 - Introducing Rahmet

Sasha's new baby has been named Rahmet. He is now back-riding. Here he is on top of Box 7 where Sasha and he slept earlier in the day. In hot/sticky weather they often sleep on top of the box rather than inside.
