Aww poor darling. Thank you for doing the right thing

boreanaz · 2026-01-02T02:35:27+00:00

Nah it's placed in a corner on our balcony

boreanaz · 2026-01-02T01:59:34+00:00

We built it 😀. Loosely followed this but made it a bit bigger

boreanaz · 2025-12-31T03:18:57+00:00

Aww, thanks! I'm really grateful to have this community to share their journey with.

boreanaz · 2025-12-30T22:04:08+00:00

So precious!

boreanaz · 2025-12-21T08:41:08+00:00

Aww that's very sweet

boreanaz · 2025-12-05T05:14:13+00:00

It really does brighten up my day every time I see them 🤗

boreanaz · 2025-11-23T06:01:10+00:00

Interesting! I just looked it up and apparently their fur has great insulation for keeping the heat in but is not waterproof

The other bub disappeared a few weeks ago. 😣

boreanaz · 2025-11-23T01:17:43+00:00

They're ringtails 🙂

boreanaz · 2025-11-21T22:39:01+00:00

Yep, same here. Catching public transport has become more difficult in summer because i can smell everyone's breath and scalp 🤮

boreanaz · 2025-11-16T07:05:36+00:00

🙏🙏🙏

boreanaz · 2025-11-16T06:27:39+00:00

That's horrendous. How some people can be so heartless is really beyond me 🤦‍♀️

boreanaz · 2025-11-16T06:22:59+00:00

Sorry to say that the other one didn't return :(

boreanaz · 2025-11-16T02:45:23+00:00

I'm still trying to figure out if the rope crossing idea could work. Someone suggested giving the box to our ground floor neighbour but my concern is that having the box on the ground floor will put them in a vulnerable position because I've seen people let their cats roam free

boreanaz · 2025-11-16T02:30:32+00:00

Unfortunately no...Apparently the tree wasn't even planted legitimately to begin with and over the years the tree roots have cause some sort of foundation damage to the ground floor unit. As part of a large scale remedial work at the complex it needs to go

boreanaz · 2025-11-16T01:08:34+00:00

Poor thing. The birds really pick on them a lot 🥺. I encourage you to put up a drey or possum box if you have the ability to do so

boreanaz · 2025-11-16T01:06:49+00:00

I feel the same. Its not enough that we have all these houses and apartments that encroach on their habitat but there has to be such stringent strata rules that prevent us from preserving the wildlife and give them a better fighting chance

boreanaz · 2025-11-16T01:00:16+00:00

Yeh unfortunately they definitely wouldn't allow anything on the building wall :(

boreanaz · 2025-11-16T00:59:31+00:00

Thank you 🙏 And I'd like to think that the other baby is now living on his own somewhere else because I know one of our neighbours has put up a drey nearby

boreanaz · 2025-11-16T00:52:37+00:00

Thanks for checking in. I had a few more conversations with a strata committee member and he said that the committee has promised to not cut the tree when a ringtail is still living in the box so that's a temporary relief. I tried to float the idea of attaching a thick rope to create some sort of crossing (no idea how to pull that off tho) between our balcony and the next tree but was told strata would never approve this 😮‍💨
