Kwila

Beautiful little 'Kwila' was found as a tiny baby in a tree surrounded by dogs, his mum was nowhere to be seen.
We have been lucky enough to baby..er.. possum-sit him quite a bit.

'Kwila' is nearly full grown in these photos, they are quite small possums.

Striped Possums are very rare and very shy, so not many people get to see them.
'Kwila' was released last year.

Annie

'Annie' was found (post-Cyclone Larry) at the bottom of a banana bin. She was very thin and very thirsty.

'Annie' had a terribly infected eye, which although treatment cured the infection, she has lost sight in that eye.
The vet said that if she were a young possum, we could release her, but because she is old and has worn teeth, it would be cruel.

So she is staying at the Badcock Home For Retired Possums and living it up.
She is having a lovely time in her dotage, she pops her head out at night and finds avocado, special high protein cereal and insects all laid on.

A recent photo taken of Annie on one of her visits to the environment centre.
The lovely couple who took the photo sent me a copy. Thanks Heike & Oliver.

Annie is obviously very photogenic (wriggly, but cute).
The next 3 pics were taken by the lovely Anna from Sydney, must be the name that makes them so nice
(of course I won't mention that my full name is Sally-Anne ... sshh :-)

Thanks heaps Anna

I was lucky enough to meet a lovely couple at C4 who came in to take photo's of my Annie, and who were nice enough to email me a copies.
Thanks heaps Nick & Jean Mason

We are so lucky to share our lives with these fabulous creatures.
