Thanks Barry,
That was funny!
Life doesn't get much more comfortable than that!
To maximize the animals chance of survival, rather than just release it outside, its
advisable to make a box for it and put the box in a tree.

As you are probably aware, hollows are a scare resource even in the wild and
unfortunately if these particular animals are released outside without some provision
for shelter, they will more often than not die.
