Thread: The Oldies possum trapping 2021

Are you still managing to sell the fur or purely just a dog food mission???

@ kukuwai just focusing on the dogfood at the moment. We've saved the fur though so will sell it eventually.

after 35 years of running possum operations for DOC I will share with you all the best prefeed recipe I have ever come across - Commercial grade margarine - icing sugar and Raspberry milk shake mix - we used big 10 litre pails of commercial margarine -now here is the trick and its a must do -mix Rasberry milk shake mix with icing sugar and leave overnight to absorb - then mix with margarine - a drill and an egg beater whisk on it helps mix quickly - dont try mixing milkshake mix into maragine on it own -it wont mix - in summer add more icing sugar or plain sugar if mix gets to soft - in winter add cooking oil to soften if needed- can spoon it out or put into tubes and lay that way - goes well over the top of paste cyanide - near or above trap - I have seen bark chewed of to get the last bit
