The blood & bone eater is probably a large, very fat, rat, not a possum. Get a box type rat trap & load it with something yummy - or b&b - and hide the bag of b&b - if its a rat or similar it will turn up in the trap & you get to beat it to death. If its a possum or other protected (or friendly) species you can just let it go.
I suggest the box trap as I have experienced a rate of 1 rat to 2 native birds, so I don't go for the 'one shot kill' traps until I'm sure I won't get a friendly by accident.
