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.

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.
