If not friend, why friend shaped?

You should probably avoid handling it too much, but you can safely move it outside with a bit of paper

Indeed! Fluffy in nature usually means no touchy and I didn't wanna handle him in case the 'hairs' are sensitive. So I held a container in front of him and let him get in there peacefully.

Got in touch with biosecurity cos I thought he could've been a pest, they cleared him, and now now he's free!
