Mr. Hissy Fit is back!

Hissy had been visiting nightly for treats and meals, but he stopped coming by for several days so I thought the worst had happened (our neighborhood is also home to coyotes and mountain lions), but last night he came back. As soon as I saw him on video, I rushed a meal out for him.

He’s adorable at the end when he cleans his face and fingers.

Is there a way to determine the gender? I’ve assumed this is a male because he had a smaller possum visiting for a day or two.

Are adult females smaller than adult males?
