It's the same animal with the same shortage. Ringtails build their dreys in dense scrub and rely on old hollows, and both are disappearing from our suburbs: a possum-sized hollow takes 150 to 200 years to form, and most of our urban areas have lost tree and shrub cover in the last decade. So they move to the next best thing, an eave, a roller door, the gap under the solar panels, and in a heatwave there is nothing between them and the sun. A box can help with both, but only if three things are right: a doorway sized for a ringtail rather than a brushtail, pale untreated timber, and a spot on the shady side of the tree.
