Wallabies at Munchranch

Wallabies

MunchRanch Exotic Animal Farm and Aviary

has been providing homes for exotic animals since the early '90s. Besides the miniature Zebu cows, exotic cats, dogs, and birds, we also raise Albino and normal wallabies.

As with any animal they are not for everyone. They require a lot of commitment, special diets, special care and have special needs. Large, unaltered adult male wallaroos and kangaroos can be dangerous.

The wallaroos are about 20 pounds larger than the wallabies. The wallabies are easy going and like to lounge around. The albino wallabies are more rare than the normal grey wallabies, so they command a much higher price. Owning either one is like having an addition to your family. However, we recommend that they live outdoors where they can get sunshine, browse for food, and get proper exercise. They are not house pets and should not be treated as such.

Different species of Macropods can live together such as the Bennetts wallaby, the and the wallaroos. They can make wonderful hand-fed pets and will stay bonded to people much better if they are not raised or housed with others of their own species. You may be able to have a wallaroo or wallaby joey of your own. They can be bottle-fed, or purchased after they are weaned. Un-altered males can be dangerous.

The joeys love and need to be held but prefer to be in a pouch.

The photo below is of my friend,
Dagmar Gruebnau who lived in Germany.
This is her new joey, named Judy,
that she adopted from Munchranch. She, her son,
and a local TV film crew flew all the way here from
Germany to pick up her orphaned albino wallaby joey.
In memory of my dear friend Dagmar
who passed away Nov. 9th, 2009.
Her joeys were her constant therapy companions.

The wallaroo joey by the Chinese Crested Powderpuff puppy made friends.
It is not recommended to have other pets with the joeys. especially cats
due to the possible diseases they might get.
