In addition to possums, bandicoots, also known as quenda, are another native mammal commonly found in the Valley. These sweet little brown marsupials love the Sanctuary gardens, fossicking for earthworms and other insects, as well as snacking on vegetables and grains fed out to the Sanctuary residents.
We are very careful to contain the Sanctuary dogs and cats to keep the resident quenda safe, and have planted plenty of low growing native shrubs to provide safe hiding spots for the growing quenda community.
