[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 281077, member: 1991"] Star, tell them it's NZ Brushtail. It's the only fur trade in the world that's endorsed by the World Wildlife Fund. If you could see the damage those critturs have done to the NZ ecology, wiping out bird species etc - all those land-dwelling (non-flying) bird species are so vulnerable to possums, they just wolf down the eggs and hatchlings. The trouble with letting a possum be a possum - if yours are anything like ours, then "being apossum" usually invovles exploiting the environment for whatever theycan get out of it, including whatever they can scrounge from us. But I do endorse use of towel. They are unlikely to bite, the towel usually quietens them down. Ours don't faint if you startle them. Usually they startle us because they sound really scary if you hear them in the dark. Ours are less carnivorous than yours, ours LOVE fruit. I guess it makes them easier to coo over, because when you're feeding them a bit of mango or banana, it really is cute. Janet, have fun with your house guests. Marg [/QUOTE]
