I feed ours with leftover meat, cut banana, blueberries or similar small fruits so they are relatively tame. The hungriest are the mothers carrying a baby in the pouch and become extra friendly taking food from your hands on occasion. Once the baby is ready to leave the pouch they will 'disappear', only to be replaced by another. Have had many little 'friends' at different times. Maximum visitors seems to be around three - a male, a young female and a carrying mother, with the females appearing from different directions.

Chrysalis........We live on a river & the bandicoots dig holes along the bank which eventually collapses into the river taking trees with it, silting up the waterway, & reducing our land size.
