Pulled over a roadside zoo the other day and ended up coming home with a baby wallaby. Not sure exactly how old it is, but still being bottle fed. Was able to purchase "kangaroo" formula from the guy to bottle feed it. Thing is like a big rabbit with the personality of a kitten. He spends most of his day in a "pouch" or basically a sack hanging from the doorknob. It wears a diaper in the house but won't go in it, I put a wire dog kennel outside and when you put him in there he will go in a few minutes. Likes to sit in your lap or in its pouch and lick your hands. I let it free roam in my kid's playroom during the day. I think I'm going to set up a camera, but from what I can tell he spends most of his time in the pouch when left alone. He doesn't make much noise, but it is a weird sound when he does. If you leave him alone in the living room he will sit on the couch and watch tv.
The one thing I am noticing is that as he gets used to us, he is getting a little more aggressive, and he has a blast when you "fight" back. He annihilates stuffed animals and likes to bring them back to his pouch when he is not ragdolling them. He is about 8 lbs right now but would woop my 12 lb dog and the dog knows it. He is supposed to get up to 50 lbs, which may be a little much to handle if I can't figure out how to get him not to fight for fun. I'm worried my 4 year old is going to take a KO punch someday.
The last few nights I've been sleeping with an oversized hoodie and he crawls right into the pocket. I'm pretty sure he is even starting to come when you call him.
The guy told me getting him fixed would keep him from getting too aggressive. I kind of want to breed an army of these things though.
