Our resident Common Ringtail Possum sure does demonstrate that these guys use multiple dreys or nesting sites. They build spherical nests but will sometimes use tree hollows to sleep in. Our morning ritual is to check if this little one has slept over or not. It’s here more often than not now but good lord it’s stressful when it’s not in its bed.

I call the possum Bluebell because obviously it sleeps in the blue bell out the front and Matt calls it Content because I post about it here 😂 God knows what it thinks as our faces push through the foliage and say hi to Bluebelle and Content simultaneously 😂
