The Bilby is the only bandicoot that burrows, with its burrow sometimes extending beyond a metre underground. This is one of the reasons why rabbits have disturbed the bilby's habitat - rabbit warrens destabilise the bilbies' burrows, causing them to collapse and bury the bilby. Other species of bandicoot, such as the eastern barred bandicoot and long-nosed bandicoot build nests within grass tufts, thick undergrowth or hollow logs.
