yes your right, they eat insects, snails, berries, grasses sometimes even snakes...But be careful they love vegetables and other goodies like potatoes!!
Dont worry too much because they are rarely aggresive, more gentle and placid and just wish to be left alone, although they do have 50 teeth which is the most teeth in ANY other mammal...
They do have oppasable thumbs(dexterous) were are mainly used for climbing and just prety much grabbing stuff(like your nugs)lol and just gettin a good grip on whatever they need to
When it 'played dead' like you said it actually is doing that just because its scared obviosouly and doesnt wish to fight..they call it 'playing oppsosum' which is faking that your dead, but overall they are ALMOST always harmless..kind of interesting if you ask me..
Hope that helps with any backround info you might of wanted to know!!

I think you need to get some of the newely discovered catapillars(prolly not possible lol).. but they are an only 'meat' eating catapillars..they eat snails and other insects as well...even when they are starving they will not touch a leaf..pretty cool info as well the opossum info i think..

Well if you dont want your neighbors to perk their interest in your yard you can still put up the clothes line or as someone else mentioned, sufficiently weighted fishing line to support the girls. You could put it below the height of the fence and through the branches. You may also want to put the lines at 90 degrees to each other to account for winds, leaning in different directions, and heavy branches. Im glad you are thinking about this because it gets gusty here too and I wasnt thinking about the wind factor. Thx.

I like how clean your garden looks, weed-wise. I wonder if any of your neighbors have ever seen your grow through this thread. Do you think they would know it was you by your pics?
