Unfortunately this little guy is deceased. We found him on the ground in our front yard this morning

Might this specimen be useful for the research mentioned on the home page - "The Conservation Research Unit of ACT Government is working with partners at the Edith Cowan University to assess the impacts of anticoagulant poisons (e.g. RatSak) on non-target native species."

Yes it is of use are you able to bring it in to Mitchell or would you like us to arrange some=one to pick it up
