Become a Bilby Buddy for BILBO BILBY

Given the name Hope because she represents`hope’ for this very endangered species.

As a female Hope will play a very important role in Dreamworld’s breeding program and hopefully give birth to lots of joeys that can one day be released into the fenced enclosure at Currawinya National Park.

She is very energetic and loves digging for crunchy insects in the sand. After a busy night searching for hidden food she likes to snuggle up in her burrow with her boyfriend Manthey. Hope can be seen on display at Dreamworld in the Bilby Nocturnal House.

Just like Bilbo the Hobbit from Lord of the Rings, Bilbo the Bilby lives under the ground. Bilbo loves digging long burrows to sleep in and stay nice and cool. When he is out of his burrow he uses his big floppy ears to listen out for predators. He will gobble up food and store it in his cheek pouches so he can take it back to eat in the safety of his burrow.

Bilbo moved from Dreamworld to Charleville during 2015 as part of our captive breeding program. We hope he will father many little joey bilbies.
