You're right! I completely forgot about the fact that they wouldn't have a nest. Bren and I were talking about how they are the only marsupial in the US just this morning (while watching it come in and out of the neighbor's garage). So I guess that's why she looked so big. Wonder what she finds so interesting in the garage?
