food



  •       Most possum’s favourite foods are native leaves, flowers and fruit, but they also like to eat bananas and pawpaw.

  •        Brushtail possums main diet are leaves and most have toxins inside them, Brushtail possums have a high tolerance to plant toxins.

  •       Brushtail possums also like to eat parasitic plants like mistletoe. If mistletoe spreads it can kill a eucalyptus tree, so the possums are protecting the trees that provide them with shelter.
