Best thing to happen around here in a while.
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.These pretty common in Wisconsin?'hooter311 said:Pulled over a roadside zoo the other day
I was too, took awhile to find it on the back roads after the exit. Lean-To was a bad description, I used it because one side was completely open. Must have been an old hog building or something like this:No, I can't recall any I've seen here. We went down to my cousin's intersquad game at Iowa State in Ames.

I wonder if the whole bottle feeding thing makes all the difference. He freaked out one time pretty bad when I took him out of his pouch in the bathroom to assimilate when I got home. I mean like did to my bathroom what that big one in the video was doing to the guy's yard. Besides the one brief panic attack, he hasn't gotten too excited about anything else. He is pretty bold investigating the dog.My bengal would kick your wallaby's ###.On a serious note, I thought they were pretty high strung. Several years ago some stray dogs got into the Henry Doorly Zoo and scarred a bunch of wallabys so bad they died from crashing into a fence.
Not yet.Does it like to dry hump?
if he does, best to just let him finishNot yet.Does it like to dry hump?
My parents raise rodeo bulls and have a pretty sizable facility. I called their vet and he send he would do some research, but the job shouldn't be anything he couldn't handle.I would think getting him fixed might be a good idea. How much to fly in an Aussie vet to do the wallaby neutering?I wonder if the whole bottle feeding thing makes all the difference.

I had the same question, I'm looking into obtaining some steaks.what do they taste like? ETA: too soon?
You think how I think.To those people saying it will be fun until he tries to kick the #### out of you. I say that's just when it will start getting fun.
I would get a few females and try to establish a heard in the wild.

There's also some behavior unique to wallabies and kangaroos. They like to play-box. Like Muhammad Ali boxing. You'll want to teach them not to do that as well. It's cute when they're little, but not when your fifty-pound adult wallaby wants your welterweight title while you're trying to watch Big Bang Theory. Also, they like water. They'll hop around in kiddie pools and things. If you happen to be taking a bath with the bathroom door not shut all the way, don't be surprised when you're quite suddenly joined by a hairy Australian...and I don't mean Russell Crowe. Unless of course you named your wallaby Russell Crowe...in which case, I don't want to know about it.
Im really well insured. Let the good times roll!can't wait for the inevitable thread- "Lawyerguys help- my kid's wallaby broke my neighbor's nose- am I liable?"
the mental image of someone stopping at a red light and looking over to the car next to them and seeing a 50 pound wallaby sitting shotgun staring back at themAwesome
Take a pic with him holding a penny.
When it's bigger, will it be able to hold a beer in it's little rodent hands? If so, start training him to bring them to you.
There are endless things you have to look forward to.........driving around with, please tell me you have a convertible, picking your kid up at school, drunk fighting it, watching it whap people, awesome!!
Any alligator boys there?I was too, took awhile to find it on the back roads after the exit. Lean-To was a bad description, I used it because one side was completely open.

Then, on the roof, it had "ZOO" in large block letters. It was Sunday afternoon around 1pm so I decided if they were ever open, they probably were now. It was an odd place. They had camels and other stuff too, but it looked like maybe 10 people a year stopped there. Hopefully the business was going a little better than that.
On the first page somewhere it said they can drink dog milk formula (I think?)... it was called ebilac or something like similac.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.What exactly do wallaby's eat?

WTF is a roadside zoo and why are they selling their animals$1,000? You could have invested in a restaurant for that kind of cash.
