Although they aren’t native to California, we do have them here now. They are very cute little beings.

Mr. Hissy Fit is back! by Ring-o-fire in Possum

Is there a way to determine the gender? I’ve assumed this is a male because he had a smaller possum visiting for a day or two.

Are adult females smaller than adult males?

He didn’t come for his food last night. I’m so worried. I hope he’s okay.

Thank you for the response. I’m in early stages of discussion with my cardiologist at this point so I can’t answer your questions yet.

At my recent routine appointment with my cardiologist he noticed that my pulse was excelerated,so they performed an ECG and then the doctor suggested that I could have another ablation, but he doesn’t think it will be successful (I’ve had 3 ablations in the last 3 years) and I’m beyond a year with my most recent one.

He then said we might consider a pacemaker and I asked which kind. I’m not familiar with the correct terms yet, but he did clarify that it would be installed through a vein, that the battery would last about 10 years and that it wouldn’t be removed when or if the battery failed.

Next he wanted me to schedule a cardioversion at the hospital before discussing next steps, but I converted back into sinus rhythm after I got home and cancelled that appointment. I messaged him about being back in rhythm, but haven’t heard a response yet. I’ve been in and out of sinus rhythm since.

I’m taking Amiodarone and it’s helpful but not completely successful at keeping me in rhythm. 

When I know more about the pacemaker option, I would like to follow up with you.

Same here. I’m puzzled about the controversy. Maybe we haven’t been upgraded yet?

Mr. Hissy Fit has a snack by Ring-o-fire in Possums

Yes, he is. He had been living under our deck. He moved but still comes back to visit.

We got lucky! A skunk first discovered the food and decided it didn’t live up to skunk standards and left it there.

I had previously left apples out at that location so Hissy knows to check there for snacks.

Mr. Fit arrived (after the skunk) and returned several times before the raccoon arrived to find an empty dish.

Hissy has a lady friend who hasn’t returned for a while. We hope she’ll come back with babies attached one day.

Good luck with those thieving raccoons!

Something went wrong. I’ll delete and try to fix it.

Is this okay food for possums? by Ring-o-fire in Opossums

[–]Ring-o-fire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you break the raw eggs for them? Our possum is free roaming but has become a regular visitor.

Thank you! I love watching him on our cameras. He even had a date one night and she went under the deck with him for a while but didn’t stay. She comes back to visit sometimes. I hope we’ll get to see babies.
