How to care for a Wallaby

Day to daycare for an 11-month-old wallaby.
8:30am 💩 wake
8:30am -Warm bottle first thing in AM
*if he doesn’t drink from bowl MUST bottle feed
9am- Veggie and grass plate
9:50am 💩
12pm- He can have as much Hay and GRASS as he wants! 🥒🥦🌽🥬 Veggies and fruit are TREATS!
In the afternoon while I work I let him down to bounce around the house after he goes potty! I have a bowl of water 💦 on the floor since he’s recently learning how to drink out of that.
FRUITS & cucumbers limited to ½ or less a day 🍎🍓 (no pears, bananas or citrus) okay foods
- Apples
- Berries
- Grapes
- Sweet potatoes
- Carrots
2-3pm he grazes on veggies and grass outside
4pm 💩
5-6pm raw sweet potato & carrot mix
6pm 💩
8pm last bottle
9pm 💩
Bedtime// go potty one last time hang in GREY pouch on the bedroom door or in the garage with a newspaper under in case he gets out to potty.
🚘 when transporting in the car, hang the pouch on passenger headrest. If he gets very antsy, he may have to go potty, or he may just want to be held in your lap.
- 70-80% day spent hanging in a pouch 🔑 need to have snack pack on or nearby
- Biting his fingernails means he’s very hungry
- Grinding his teeth is normal, they regurgitate their food
- Gets ONE milk bottle a day - if he’s acting very needy // biting nails feeding cooked oats lukewarm is a go-to
- He’s sensitive to LOUD sounds and 🥶 cold
-Eating dirt is okay & encouraged but other foods aside from fruits and veggies & oats are discouraged.
-7-9pm is his HYPER hour and needs to be able to jump around freely (exercise time)
-Cuddling and affection is every few hours MUST 🥰
-Bathing 🧼 is okay if he gets dirty (sensitive baby shampoo)
😐 Zeke was trained on pee pee pads and sometimes goes pee on couches or beds, just something to be aware of! Doesn’t happen usually if taking your taking him outside.
