The main reasons for the bridled nailtail wallaby being endangered are:
1. Habitat loss due to land clearing for agriculture, and also introduction of non-native grasses. Drought and bushfire also play a part.
2. Introduction of non-native predators - foxes, feral cats and wild dogs are the greatest threat to the bridled nailtail wallaby.
3. Introduction of European stock animals which eat the wallaby's food. Its favoured foods are non-woody broad-leafed plants, chenopods (low-growing succulents such as pigweed), flowering plants and grasses, all of which are eaten by grazing stock animals such as sheep and cattle, and even rabbits (also introduced).
