Caper Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi & Welcome! Looking forward to your pics and posts! So are you planning on setting up the same kind of tank that you, sadly, had to leave behind? You had a job in 3 DAYS! Is that why so many people are moving to New Zealand???? 8) Take care & have fun, Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Come on over Caper. I am sure we could use more possum hunters! Hi and welcome Benny. Odd job for someone to take up I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simian Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 We pluck the fur and mix the fur with merino wool and make the best knitware in NZ they are a major pest, they destroy thousands of acres of bush every year and eat our native birds and lizard eggs Even the craziest greenies havnt got any sympathy for the little mongrels And thats just the Poms, you should see what we do to possums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
