Bandicoots do not normally live in the desert.

Bandicoots may be found in a variety of habitats, but their preferred habitat is anywhere their food source is - that is, grubs, larvae and other invertebrates. They prefer open grasslands or grassy feeding grounds and commonly feed in suburban backyards, as long as cats and dogs are not present. In their natural state, they also live in open woodlands and heath, sheltering in shallow depressions in the ground, and pulling tufts and tussocks of grass over their nest for protection. They have also been known to shelter amongst prickly bushes. Bandicoots also live within rainforests and wet and dry sclerophyll forests.

Bilbies are a type of bandicoot, and they live in burrows in hot, dry grasslands and semi-arid spinifex areas. They also do not live in the desert.
