I just found a baby one who was on its mum who was hit by a car, I managed to care for him for a few days and now he’s at a foster care , I might be able to have him back once he’s grown more, I live in ten acres with a fully enclosed area outside that would suit! Watching this makes me think I could adopt him permanently!

Just wondering if anyone in NZ actually believes the propaganda about possums eating the island to death? I have around 10 in my small yard each night and got to know them all - beautiful, intelligent animals. We haven't lost a single plant to over grazing. I wonder if the NZ Govt. is actually more worried about protecting industry than nature. There are probably a lot of vested interests from farmers to the 1080 poison industry (NZ is responsible for 90% of the world's 1080 use each year).
