Kangaroos and Wallabies: a guide to keeping Macropods - Paperback

by Donna Racheal (Author)

Many people assume possums just eat gum leaves and wallabies stick to grass - and while that's partly true, there's much more to their care. Like our cats and dogs, native wildlife need a varied, balanced diet, along with proper handling, enough space to move freely, plus mental and environmental enrichment to stay healthy. These books provide practical guidance for anyone caring for, or curious about, Australia's unique animals.
This 84-page illustrated guide provides essential information on the care of 23 commonly kept species of macropods - including Kangaroos, Wallabies, Quokkas, Bettongs, and more. Packed with practical advice on diet, enclosure design, housing, fox-proofing, safe handling, transport, and basic first aid, it also explores breeding, social behaviour, natural habitats, and conservation insights.
