Possum Politics

Big daddy brushtail awoke the other night, mighty hungry but a bit shy, he will come up to the window as close as he can get and just stare at us until we get up, but as soon as we open the door he runs down the tree to its base and awaits a game of fetch the banana. He won this game as he does most nights.

Meanwhile.... The ringtails are buzzing about, they tend to get flustered when the big boy brushtail is around. But they still come for fruit with one eye on the banana and the other on the brushtail.

Little Daddy is such a sweetie 

Balancing the feeding of the Ringtails and Brushtails can be tricky

Especially when they inhabit the same small space

Large claws and big teeth dont help either!!
