It started with just one hole weeks ago, and now our lawn is basically being destroyed! I’m not a native so I’ve got no idea what animal it could be.
Found some scat this morning too(sorry, kids ate all the bananas so had to use a finger for scale). The only thing I’ve seen in the garden in the 4 years we’ve been here are possums, a tawny frogmouth, lizards, one tree snake and a baby brush turkey.
Keep repairing the holes but it’s not making a difference and we live in a rental so if anyone has any ideas about how to encourage our mystery guest to vacate the premises that would be great!

Bandicoots.
I have a bunch living in my yard.
Put out a trail camera and you’ll see them. Or sit quietly late at night, or a couple of hours before sunrise.
That would be a niffler.
Looks like you have a bandicoot
Bandies
Also bandicoots are awesome so let it be
A friend has bandicoots digging up her yard (regional Qld) – her photos look the same as yours.

Me, hehehe
Me sorry about that
I’m actually missing mine this year ☹️
For the last 20 years that we’ve lived here,SE Qld, I’ve cursed them as my veggie garden got turned upside down. But none so far this year.
