    • @DaveWhoa
      @DaveWhoa 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Brittney: NO. DO NOT FEED THE QUOKKAS. Of course if you try to feed it some natural vegetation they're already eating then the food itself won't necessarily make them sick, but it will still encourage them to try to obtain food from humans and that's a big problem. This is why our relationship with quokkas should be 100% OBSERVATIONAL only. :)
