This brushtail possum was not at all concerned by how close I was. It's unusual for them to be out during the day, but she looked healthy and was munching leaves of a small tree we'd talked about removing, but I guess not if it's wildlife food

I hope more eggs hatch. I'll feel bad for her if she has no friends her own age to play with

Mariah's been sitting on 4 eggs, but I didn't think it likely they'd be fertilised as the roosters are so young, and none too successful in their endeavours to charm the hens. Imagine my surprise when I picked her up and found this tiny chick had hatched

Timothy's ridiculous, hysterical crow. He's so small but thinks he's a big man. He's the chicken equivalent of a chihuahua

Holiday to the Grampians was cancelled because of monstrous bushfire. Instead we had a staycation, with hiking in our local region, a 15 min drive away. Could be worse

Happy New Year! I kicked off 2025 at an excellent party, where middle-aged people behaved with full maturity

Congratulations to this little lady for winning the "cutest" category in the work pets competition. She remains modest in her triumph over curly haired dogs and velvety cats, and is enjoying some self-esteem recovery after being told she looks like Trump. #guineapigs #pets

Margot and Elizabeak, dust bathing together

Early days on Bluesky. Starting my posts gently with guinea pigs. Will work my way gradually to politics and outrage
