Would it be possible to establish some sort of alternate possum area that caters to their needs/wants better than your rabbit house? Just a thought. I have possums, but usually only see them as roadkill, haven't noticed any bothering my chickens. I do have sporadic conflicts with either coons or possums and my cat food, which we keep in a plastic container in an open barn. Wiley critters, both of them! I wonder if the change of season is bringing them closer to civilization? I just had my cat food raided twice in the same number of days (opening the bin, emptying it out, licking the corners clean). They apparently are not too interested in chicken grain or scratch - both of those are open sacks right next to the cat food. I may be supporting my local mouse population, but haven't noticed droppings in the grain so perhaps the cats are actually doing their job.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
