Hello Possums

In addition to the plague of black beetles that invaded the homestead at night during our first week in the homestead there seemed to be large noises coming from the roof late at night. Possums none the less and I swear this one didnt have great balance as it seemed to be falling off the beams onto the ceiling. Thankfully the farm came with a trap which I figured out how to set it and placed an apple in the cage for bait and placed it in the roof.


That night around 10pm there was a very distintive noise of the sound of the trap going off and then the predicitive followon sound of the struggle. A splash followed on as the sound of water came through the roof as the possum, well, had a little accident.


After some debate with what to do with the cute little thing we decided to drive up the road and let it go to see if the neighbours were interest in the little fury friend.
