Bennett's Wallabies |

 |
The Bennett’s Wallaby makes a wonderful pet! When bottle reared from
infancy and provided with lots of TLC, they are capable of returning
human affection to a degree astounding to most people! The most
common Bennett’s color is grayish brown with red-brown neck and
shoulders and light under markings. This variety is referred to as a
"gray". A less common variety is the albino Bennett’s, which is snow
white in color and quite striking in appearance. Besides the color,
however, the two are identical in size, behavior, etc.
Wallabies are a marsupial which means the infants are born extremely small and crawl into the mother’s pouch where they attach themselves to a nipple. This is where they stay warm and happy until they are some six to seven months of age. At which time they are fully furred and taken to be bottle fed and socialized with humans. We pull our little Bennett’s joeys when they weigh 2 1/2 -3 pounds A Bennett’s life span is 12-15 years. The Bennett’s Wallaby is 30”-36” tall in height and weighs 30-50 pounds when they reach maturity. Males are generally larger and more muscular. The height and weight of the species varies considerably from one individual animal to another. The Bennett’s Wallaby makes a wonderful pet!

The attention given a Joey (baby wallaby) from the time he is taken from his mother, the loving attention he receives, his environment, veterinary care, and the age at which he is removed from his mother’s pouch are very important factors in determining his adult disposition and physical condition. Therefore, buying a Joey from a reputable breeder with references is very important. Joeys are commonly kept in baby’s mesh playpens during the periods when the owner is not carrying them in an artificial pouch. The pouch, made of a very soft material, can be attached to the side of the playpen with the bottom just off of the floor of the playpen. This time in a little joey’s life is essential for bonding to his new ”roo mum or roo dad” The owner must spend as much time as possible with s little joey, wearing the pouch and taking the baby with him. Purchase of a bottle baby joey from Buffalo Hill Exotics includes a pouch, bottle, marsupial nipples, container of milk, and a packet including info, tips and hints sheets. We offer 7/24 after sale support to help insure that the buyer raises a happy healthy pet.! All our Bennett’s joeys are sired by our white males!
