What do Pygmy Opossums eat?
There is no legitimate species called the "pygmy opossum".There are five species of pygmy possums.Mountain pygmy possums eat invertebrates including the Bogong moth, which migrates annually from the tablelands and lowland pastures of New South Wales to Australia's alpine region in the south-east, where it spends the summer before returning north again in autumn. This is its main source of food. It also eats fruits, nuts, nectar and seeds. The fruits and seeds of the mountain plum-pine, Podocarpus lawrencei, are especially important for the mountain pygmy possum in the summer and autumn when the Bogong moth is absent.The long-tailed pygmy possum, western pygmy possum, eastern pygmy possum and Tasmanian pygmy possum (or "Little pygmy possum") all eat insects, as well as pollen and nectar from native trees such as eucalyptus, callistemon and melaleuca.Pygmy possums eat beetles and small insects, and insect larvae, selected flowers, nectar and pollen. The Mountain Pygmy possum, which lives only in Australia's alpine regions, feeds on Bogong moths.
