A wild possum tried to drink the pond water and disappeared in a big splash.


If you keep big pims (especialy in a pond) be very careful if you have other pets like cats or small dogs who may try and drink the water. They may get eaten while trying to drink ..... :shock:

Your situation is unusual...Most people have to make sure their cats don't eat their fish...You have to make sure the fish don't eat the cats..

Burped up a bit of fur mate .... no sign of a body so I guess its gone through the filter as fish poo.
