Yes. Natural predators of the bilby include dingoes and quolls, although due to habitat loss, quolls no longer share habitats with the bilby, which has been driven further inland. Carpet pythons and Birds of Prey also pose a danger.
Feral dogs, foxes and cats are introduced predators of the bilby. Whilst not predators, introduced rabbits pose a threat to the bilby. Not only do they eat the bilbies' food, but their burrowing often causes the bilbies' burrows to cave in, trapping and suffocating the bilbies.

What are some enemies of bilbies?
Bilbies do not have "enemies", as such - they have predators. Natural predators of the bilby include dingoes and quolls, although due to habitat loss, quolls no longer share habitats with the bilby, which has been driven further inland. Carpet pythons and birds of prey also pose a danger. Feral dogs, foxes and cats are introduced predators - and therefore enemies - of the bilby. Whilst not predators or even enemies, introduced rabbits pose a threat to the bilby. Not only do they eat the bilbies' food, but their burrowing often causes the bilbies' burrows to cave in, trapping and suffocating the bilbies. Similarly, stock animals such as horses and cattle, which are not enemies of the bilby either, cause problems because their hard hooves impact the ground, making it harder for bilbies to dig.

What are the uses of a Bilby's burrow?
A bilby's burrow is used for shelter and protection. The bilby digs a spiralling burrow which may extend three metres in length, and two metres in depth. This helps protect the bilby from the intense heat of the desert and semi-arid area where it lives. The burrow stays at around 23 degrees Celsius, pleasant during both summer and winter. The bilby is a nocturnal feeder, so it stays in its burrow during the day and comes out at night to forage for food. The burrow also offers protection from predators. Bilbies do not have just one burrow, but may have access to dozens of burrows. Some of these are used for daytime shelter, while others are escape burrows. Bilbies frequently fill in the burrow behind them, to prevent the entry of predators.
