Ours get in ceiling cavities and thump around in the wee small hours, are extremely destructive and fight loudly - always at around 3am with a stray cat. I think they're a different species (?) to yours. Are yours a marsupial? <br /><br />They're were introduced to NZ from Aust, and have become a pest there. They process them for the fur and spin it with wool and alpacca to make a wonderfully warm, lightweight yarn.
