Bilby sales delight the conservation effort

Debbie’s Six Word Saturday

As rabbits are such an introduced pest in Australia so chocolate rabbits should move over and make room for some chocolate Bilbys. As you can see, the chocolate company donate 10c of the price of each chocolate Bilby sold.

Here a bit about Bilbys, if you are interested. Once roaming over 70% of Australia, they are now restricted to 15% of the deserts of Australia. A lot of it due to rabbits who utilise most of Bilbys habitat, then there are the Foxes and feral cats.

  2. I bought a chocolate Bilby for a friend the other day. I noticed you can also get squirrels although I’m not sure why as they have nothing to do with Easter and we don’t have them here anyway. Nevertheless I got my sister one because she’s going to England in May and hopes to see some.

  7. I’ve never quite figured out how rabbits and eggs are together but chickens wouldn’t be very appealing. Squirrels seem a bit odd also. I can always go for some chocolate, though, especially if it’s dark chocolate. 🙂

    1. Well you see Janet, there was this rather, well promiscuous chicken who had a bit of a fling with a randy rabbit…….
      Dark chocolate is my favourite as well 🙂

  9. Oh wow – sorry about the rabbits and their interfering with the habitat
    We have some rabbits that come and go in our yard – but before this I never lived in a place that had them
    And ugh – for a while they left dropping near the garage and I left if bag of moth balls there and they stayed away

      1. yes – it was a little too strong for me too – and so I put them into a zip lock baggy and only unzipped it a little – that way it was less odorous –
        I also bought a spray that keeps rabbits out and used that near the back fence – it worked for about a year and I need to spray again –
