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.
See http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/an...ossumHouse.htm
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.
Yep, done this a couple of times now.
