One of my trailcams managed to photograph another pademelon on an invisible hoverbike.

*Long update post*

A month ago, on my old instance, I posted this photo of a tiny pademelon joey we found wandering about without a mother. Although small to be on his own, he (joeys all seem like boys to me, but it might be a girl) was able to feed himself, had good hiding instincts and the weather was warm so we thought he'd be able to survive OK without human assistance.

I'm happy to say he's fine, and we named him Chandler (Joey, Chandler, get it?). Every night, we watched him hop from the forest to the house at dusk. He initially preferred to eat little grass shoots between the paving and in the driveway gravel, but after a couple of weeks he moved around to the other side of the house where it's more grassy.

He's grown now, so we can't identify him amongst the other joeys that are ganining independence but I'm sure Chandi's there with the rest of them.

Just checked a trailcam and found a photo of a pademelon on an invisible hoverbike.😂

Meet our marsupial gardening crew. Every night, 30 - 100 pademelons and a few wallabies look after the lawns. They take care of mowing, edging and fertilising.

We don't see possums every night, but there's often 1 - 6 of them. They take care of eating all fruit from the fruit trees and destroying any part of the vegetable garden that isn't fully enclosed so it's lucky they're cute.
