Baby Ringtail: Our neighbours across the road are wildlife carers; that means they rescue orphaned baby possums. Sometimes the possum kittens (that's the name for baby possums) can be as small as a grape; other times they are the size of a kiwi fruit. They are released back into the wild when they are able to care for themselves. My daughter helps to care for them. She feeds them, toilets them and gives them lots of love. Possums can be a pest if they nest in your roof but they are still a native Australian animal; it's we who have moved into their habitat.
