A. Several non-target animals may be at risk from 1080 poisoning for foxes. They include farm dogs, bandicoots and native tiger quolls. The risk to non-target animals should be carefully assessed before baiting. The risk of non-target losses can be minimised by strictly following recommended baiting procedures including using the appropriate bait and quantity of poison and by burying the bait. Free-feeding with non-poisoned bait and checking the tracks around the baits can help determine whether non-target animals are at risk.
