There are "Why?" people and "Why not?" people I guess. We had been looking for a dog, this came along first.

Put me down on the list for a puppy wallaby. Can I train it to go to the bars with me? Could be some pretty good comic fodder here...'-jb- said:

All that would fit in there. It's basically a knapsack with a drawstring. He sleeps in there about 18 hours a day if you hang it from a doorknob. I think he would like totally go for a beer though, might wait a little bit to develop that habit.
It would be fun to act like it's no big deal around the wimmens. "What? Oh, him? That's just my wallaby. Do you think they'd turn the rangers game on for me if I asked?"

Do they get along with dogs? Are there wallaby boarding houses for when we go on vacation?

No, I can't recall any I've seen here. We went down to my cousin's intersquad game at Iowa State in Ames. Along I-35 on the way back, about 30 miles south of Mason City there was a large aluminum lean-to with the word "ZOO" printed across it. We were making good time so we pulled in to check it out.

Not sure yet. The links I've seen say they are pretty social and they were running all around the person's yard we got him from. There were cats and dogs out around them.My dog is a big pansy and is terrified of it. We are a family of lovers and cuddlers and Toby the Wallaby is the only one that likes to get in everyone's face. I should know more in another month or so when things settle down if they actually get along.My dog likes to be the sheriff of the household and he gets upset if anyone is having too much fun. Toby racing around the house is really stressing him out but he basically just sits in his bed with his ears up all day.

I have a 20lb sack of formula I got with it, that was supposed to be "Kangaroo" formula. I'm looking into getting more of it, but I might have to have it sent airmail from Australia, which is going to cost a penny or two I'm sure.Luckily about 20 miles from here there is a place that produces zoo food. I got ahold of them yesterday and they have barley type pellets that zoos buy from them that should work. Right now everything is out of a bottle.

Next is the biggest inconvenience: you'll need a fence, like a five to six foot fence to keep your wallaby from becoming possibly your runaway wallaby. Plus, they need a yard to hop around in, so they're not the pet for apartment dwellers. On the subject of hopping, like a dog, you'll want to teach them to stay off of certain things. They'll hop up on sofas and beds (not a huge problem), as well as tables and countertops (kind of a huge problem). Add to that the fact that half of the length of a wallaby is tail, which is sure to be swinging into whatever fragile and easily knocked over thing it can find, and you could have a little Australian wrecking ball on your hands.

I own my home but the exercise thing could get to be a problem. He takes little hops but he likes to bolt back and forth across the room when he is active. He really gets a kick out of it if you put up an obstacle like a chair in front of him for a little parkour. I want to make him a little pair of hulk jean shorts or something since he won't go to the bathroom if he is wearing anything. I tried to make him a harness for going outside but he did not care for what I came up with so I took it off before he hurt himself.I bought a 6x6 wire dog kennel and installed it behind the garage for him to do his business in, but I realize that probably isn't suitable for exercise long term.Looks like I'll be having a yard sale because every table in my house is glass topped. He hasn't tried jumping on one of them yet, but I know my luck will not last forever. Luckily I don't have a lot of clutter like lamps and pictures and crap to knock over and my kid has already broken most of the stuff I have to worry about.

One hole instead of two under his tail.No red rocket sitings yet, just a sack like a cat.

you should totally get a 10 foot fence and then setup a kick ### obstacle course for him to romp around inone that makes those ##### dog "agility" courses look like hopscotch

Nothing is too sharp on him yet. I had the file out, but I needed another person to hold him down. His front paws are like little raccoon hands. He can jump up and grab onto your leg when you are walking by and will hold on while you try to shake him off. He also likes to hold on with both hands while he licks your hands or arms. I thought maybe he had a salt deficiency or something but it seems like they might just love to lick crap.
Unsure the proper method for training. If I patted at him with a newspaper I think he would fight back. I think I'll start with a squirt bottle to see if that works as a deterrent at all.

My dad picked me up a pet raccoon from one of theses places back in the mid '60's. He was a trip, too until the lady raccoons started strutting their stuff outside his cage. He never got aggressive with us, but we cut him loose because he seemed depressed that he wasn't gettin' any... 
This wallaby business is awesome. I just might be interested. Hook us up some video. Stat!

$1,000? You could have invested in a restaurant for that kind of cash.
