Talk:Eastern bettong

Edits by Diplodwatcher
I'm out reverting per 3RR, so somebody will have to come in and fix the formatting mess Diplodwatcher has left. He/she is quoting this source which contradicts his position, so his edits should be removed as being inaccurate. He/she seems unwilling to discuss the edits. --Michael Johnson (talk) 03:01, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

File:Bettongia gaimardi.jpg to appear as POTD soon
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Bettongia gaimardi.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 14, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-03-14. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! — howcheng  {chat} 05:48, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Pets?
There is reference to "balbo" being the Ngunnawal word for kangaroo rats - see eg this reference to street names in the suburb of Ngunnawal (the genus potoroidae, of which the bettong is a member), but the claim that they were kept as pets is unsupported and contrary to common understanding of pre-colonial life.
