25 seconds of breakfast.
So...this little fellow had a quarrel with Mum last night and there was a lot of chasing going on across the roof. He has to go out into the big wide world now. I was reading that usually available dens are are fully occupied by adult possums and a possum without a den will not survive. This means that as juvenile possums become independent and disperse many will die from being unable to establish a home range.
I was worried about Jnr because he was making his den in the roof until we blocked it all off. I heard him last night trying to get back in the roof again and actually thought he had managed it but this evening he hopped out of the possum box on the deck.
I have spent much of the day today building a new box for him in case Mum decides to sleep in the deck box. I was hoping to get it finished and set up tonight at the back of the house but it will have to wait until tomorrow now.
We have had a busy few days working on house improvements...more on that tomorrow.
