Hi neighbours
We have a very pesky possum that we can’t seem to lure into our trap. We’re wondering if he’s actually too big for the yellow plastic trap we have. Does anyone have any ideas or maybe a bigger cage trap that we could try? It’s driving us a bit crazy and we hate to think how… View moreHi neighbours
We have a very pesky possum that we can’t seem to lure into our trap. We’re wondering if he’s actually too big for the yellow plastic trap we have. Does anyone have any ideas or maybe a bigger cage trap that we could try? It’s driving us a bit crazy and we hate to think how much damage he’s doing! Thanks in advance! Peter
We found a rabbit at the golf course, obviously a pet not a wild rabbit as I caught her easily. named her "Lucky"
Turns out she was pregnant and had 5 babies a month later. These little fellas are within a week of being weaned as they are already eating grass, hay and pellets.

Please share the details below and include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in an article. Cheers.

With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.
Whether it’s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!
Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.
Let us know how you’re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
