We have quenda aplenty in our Perth Hills yard and we’ve enclosed all our garden beds to keep the rats and mice out of them without using poison that would also affect the natives.
It amuses me that we see a rat scurrying and think about how to kill them, but we see a rat-sized marsupial and go Squee!
