Update 10th February 2025

I would first like to apologize for not posting anything for so long. When I started this blog I made a rule that I wouldn't apologize for posting entries later than intended because I knew that this would invariably happen and I didn't want every entry to start with a tedious apology and excuses.

But this time it's been months and months and people have probably been wondering whether this blog was gone for good.

Update 26th October 2025 - Introducing Roxy the Ringtail

 Drak is growing up.

Drak - 11^th Oct 2025

He shares a box with his mother Blossom, but no longer back-rides and recently has got up the courage to visit the house on his own.

Baby Possum Alert

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

Sprout has not used the possum boxes in a long time, but was in Box 1 today.

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 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.
