I've got a baby one in a pillow case in a box at the moment - found it this morning all scared and by itself on my deck! Called WIRES but they have not come yet to get it. It's so cute. I've given it water and probably should get some native flowers - but only had a manderine so gave it that and it ate it.

Hi Lilyvon. The little ones usually stay with their mother for a while. It was good it ate the fruit. I hope WIRES have collected it by now! Let me know how you got on.

@LCRTPvideos

how do they mate?

@tambaz1 Hi. Answer: Male facing the rear of the female. As all mammals do but boy! Can they be noisy! -:) One theory as to why 'missionary' isn't favoured is so the male can keep on eye open for any predators around.

I like the other video of the ducks in the pool as well

I'm impressed. You got very close to it. Well done! Deserves an award I think.

Very cute. Do they bite? And how did you get so close to it?

[LCRTPvideos]

I think it would run away before you got close enough for it to bite but having said that their teeth are sharp! It must have been very hungry to let me get so close but I moved slowly and I was very quiet.

Looks ver healthy. Is it a male or female?

[LCRTPvideos]

Pretty sure it's female.

[Lillyvon]

They are very social - mate like any mamal - just possum on possum humping!!! Oh, and we kept the possum for a while until it was big enough and strong enough. Set it free and it still comes down to be fed. Very cute.

@Lillyvon That's great that it survived!
