  • On arriving home from a trip away, we discovered my wife's craft room had been trashed. 2 days later we discovered a mother and baby brushtail possum in there. This video is us trying to get them out of the house.

    Sadly the most likely reason for her being there was that her home was destroyed. Brushtails face fierce competition for sleeping spaces during the day due to logging of dead trees, renovations and people kicking them out of rooves. Without a sleeping space, they die. With a baby, she was very vulnerable and likely wasn't able to find a new home. Possums don't hide out like that in homes for no reason. You can Google how to build a possum box and put it within fifty metres of where you found the possum.

    Brushies are superb little characters. Most of them are healthily cautious at first. Some females will be like ‘don’t get too familiar if I’m carrying a Joey or I’ll nibble your thumb… even if it’s offering me food’. Some are the opposite and will introduce themselves to you (and your food!!!). They’re big personalities and give enough of themselves that you can read them. They can be ‘cheeky naughty’ or totally chilled. Wonderful little tree friends. It is absolutely possible to develop a personal relationship with a brushtail possum. They get to know you, and like any animal their only metric for assessing and making judgement about us is how kindly we treat them - body language, gifts of food, tone of voice. They can tell if we’re being genuine in our affection. After a while, when trust is absolutely normalised they will gladly accept a back rub or a scratch behind the ears. If you gently tickle and rub around the end of their tail they will wrap it around one of your fingers - that really is a very special moment, a bit like holding hands. Glorious. They respond to all of that very enthusiastically if you are patient and consistent. All of a sudden a bulging pouch becomes a joey being brought along for show and tell, and then they learn to join in too (and having heard your voice chatting away since they were first able to hear, you become a normalised part of their world too). They are very clever, very charismatic and responsive little ratbags. Wonderful, very mutually beneficial relationships can arise from respect, care and affection.
    I’m always impressed at how sleek and clean they are too - they are very meticulous in their cleaning and grooming, especially after eating. There’s nothing rough or nasty at all about Brushtail Possums - quite the opposite. They’re terrific little souls if you’re willing to find out and accept them.

      Not true though. The opossums here in US are harmless and great to have around. Just as adorable as well. They don't carry disease/rabies either and devour tics and slugs.
      Not to mention they aren't as troublesome as raccoons as they can't open containers and garbage cans.

    I am no expert but what I would have done is -leave the front/back door open and use a trail of oats leading to outside the door, go to bed and leave the lights on in the house. Wake say at 5am and close door. Then wash the floor etc. The possums are literally terrified and the mother is dangerous. As an aside - one got stuck in our flue - a friend put down a rope which allowed the possum to climb out at night. The flue was then sealed at the opening with wire.

      Well actually, Australian possums belong to the order Diprotodontia and are more closely related to other Australian marsupials like the kangaroo, wombat, and koala. North American opossums, while still marsupials, are included within their own order, Didelphimorphia.

    To all the Americans in here saying "just pick it up omg": Australian possums are NOT like American opossums.
    Australian possums have razor sharp claws for climbing trees, and they are also VERY good biters, if you try and just pick up a ringtail like this one it'll defend itself and you'll be on your way to the hospital with a bunch of deep cuts on your arms and hands.
    Those things can literally kill domestic animals (cats and dogs), and they'll seriously hurt you if they feel threatened.

    What is the fear of poor furry little animals so harmless, I would feel lucky from such a visit. You could take them with your bare hands if you did it kindly they wouldn't do anything to you.

      @@JemClarke I think you're right @Jem Clarke. They get to the age when their mother's decide 'that's enough, you can fend for yourself'! The mother certainly left pretty quickly without a thought for her (big) kid (not a small joey anymore where she would defend him/her). I applaud the video makers for being so gentle trying to get the possums out of the house. I would have just used a towel to catch/wrap them up and placed them outside.

    How can anyone think possums are cute when they are so destructive. We've never had a problem until recently. We have a lemon tree. They have been eating the skin off the lemons, and leave the lemons in the nude. Now that they have landed at this address, come summer they will be eating our figs and our prickly pears, as these plants are beside the fence. Just hope they don't get into the ceiling.

      Possums smell, urinate in roof cavities, eat and destroy garden fruits, fight and make raucous noises … they are not cute toys from a Disney movie.
