Dama Wallabies |
||
|
The Dama wallaby is one of the smallest of the wallaby species. The adults are dark gray or brown with a paler color on the underside. The coat is short and sleek and ears are slightly pointed. Adult head and body length is 24-26 inches, the tail is 15-17 inches and mature height ranges from 14-18 inches. The average adult male weighs about 15 pounds, females 10-11 pounds. The little Dama wallaby is without a doubt the most commonly kept marsupial in Australia, according to the Marsupial Society of Australia. Damas are kept as pets because they are small and fairly easy to keep, with a life span of 14-18 years. ![]() Based on 19 years experience, we have not observed the Dama to be purely nocturnal but with nighttime behavior that closely mirrors that of the Bennett’s wallaby. Our experiences have also proven them to be winter hardy and no more prone to stress or stress related problems than our Bennett’s wallabies. The little Dama, given lots of TLC and dedicated devotion as a bottle baby joey, will make a wonderful pet. We reccommend,however, that all first time roo owners start with a Bennett's joey. Our Dama joeys are placed on the bottle when they are fully furred and weigh 1-1 ¼ pounds. We bottle feed them for 10-14 days and then place them with their new “roo mum" or "roo dad” for final bonding. Purchase includes a pouch, bottle, 3 marsupial nipples, a container of milk replacer and a packet of info with tips and hints sheets to help insure that you raise a healthy, happy joey! We offer 7/24 after sale support. We are here to help and to answer questions. We encourage all buyers to pick up their bottle baby joeys here at the ranch!
