As mentioned in my last blog post I had my suspicions that the half-pint sized baby possum that I had trapped the night before was not acting alone. I had a hard time imagining the tiny possum carrying off a baby carrot much less a full sized zucchini. So I reset the trap…….
At about 10:00 last night I hear the trap snap shut. Thinking it was still pretty early for a possum and that I had probably trapped my neighbors cat again I got out of bed to inspect. There is was….a full grown mama/daddy (I didn’t inspect closely) possum. It was not pleased at the situation and was not shy about sharing those feelings with me.
Teeth bared, going crazy in the cage, I realized that I was going to have to move him to a more distant location. So I went out, picked up the cage, and the possum went ballistic. Thinking that it was way too dark to be carrying around a crazed possum by a tiny cage handle I moved quickly moved it to the grass so it would at least make less noise that it would have on the cement.
The good news is that I picked a nice juicy zucchini this morning and will be consuming it for lunch. Hopefully that is the last of the possums but I am going to be resetting the trap just to be sure…..
