Then wait in anticipation for the fight/mate worthy death shriek.Beth and Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190343426035714094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955563563655766812.post-9312480420472487222011-06-05T12:18:47.480+10:002011-06-05T12:18:47.480+10:00While I feel bad about your possum problem, your p...While I feel bad about your possum problem, your post made me laugh. Maybe you should mention to your landlord/rental agent that the possum may be nesting and about to drop a litter of babies that will also chew on the wires and cause some crazy damage. <br /><br />You'll have to let us know how the possum war turns out!<br /><br />p.s. You were magnificent on the wheelie bin last year! :)emilysuzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236106645679996405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955563563655766812.post-70782649097012167002011-06-05T09:38:24.699+10:002011-06-05T09:38:24.699+10:00Ha ha! I totally know what you mean Tammy :)
When ...Ha ha! I totally know what you mean Tammy :)<br />When we were living in our first house (when my family first moved to the farm) we had an old wooden stove that we didnt use - mum just used it to display things on - but the chimney was hooked up and we had a mummy possum who would make her nest in the oven and would access it via the chimney. The only thing was, that there was a gap in the flue where one half had slipped down a few cms and I clearly remember brushing my teeth one night (the sink was right beside the old oven) and I could feel that dreadful feeling of someone watching me...as I gazed around the kitchen my eyes suddenly locked onto some big brown ones peering back at me through the gap in the flue!!<br />Anyway, after that we started feeding her bread with jam on it and each season she'd bring her babies to show us. They then progressed to sitting on top of the fridge to eat their bread and jam, and all was well until she had a boy baby and he grew up and started whizzing everywhere marking his territory....and that was the end of us feeding the possums :)<br />Good memories though :)Bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889183765431179210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955563563655766812.post-47598146271775933752011-06-03T17:41:44.936+10:002011-06-03T17:41:44.936+10:00Uph!

Perhaps you'll be so annoying that he/she.. will move? I'd definitely be trying the real estate people... trying, trying, TRYing, because he/she/etc could be really making a mess up there. Surely they will care? I'd possibly mention your plan to contact the owners and let them know that the real estate guys are being negligent...<br /><br />Ear-muffs?<br /><br />xoxoAbbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508311593157719111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955563563655766812.post-33815818686555613242011-06-03T07:05:21.349+10:002011-06-03T07:05:21.349+10:00I heard strange sounds from my patio over a few ni...I heard strange sounds from my patio over a few nights and could not figure out what it was (like a grunting sound)...till finally I see a huge possum walking along the garden edge. I went out to have a look and it couldn't care less about me just walked straight pass me as if "whatever.. I am here now!"

The land lord's really should be responsible for that kind of problem. Good luck!brecksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949982512046372422noreply@blogger.com
