The Newest member of our family!! D.U.W.

And here he is! This is Artie and he's a two month old Wallaby. I got him through my work and I will be hand raising him for the next couple of months. He came to us as an orphan from New Zealand. He's such a cuddler too!

Sounds like a party!!!:banana::banana: Dress warm though. it's gonna be cold outside >.<

Thats it......where are you located I am coming over to soak up some of that cuteness....that thing is AWESOME!

Congrats!

haha south OKC! I may just bring him to the next Herp club meeting.. uh.. when is that btw?:P

This Thursday......you could probably do it....but I think the stress would be too much.

I work on Southside......:D

If I do bring him, he'll stay in his pouch/backpack until the very end. If you wanted to I could stay behind a bit after most of the people have cleared out for you to see him. I like to restrict his time out to less than 5 minutes every time he feeds since he's still so little. If he were with mom he'd be mostly in the pouch still anyway. Does it start at 7? I forgot what time, and it's still at the OKC Zoo, right?

Oh! It's this Thursday? I'm going to have to try to make it to that one. I always forget about them until it's too late. It would be fun to go and actually know someone there. Are you guys (Kasi, Richard, whoever from OK) going to go?

I'm going to try to go. Depends on how fast I can get done with work with the animals Thursday.

Yep I should be there.... 7:30 at the zoo ed building.


Oh.....I will be bringing 2 female balls that are for sale too.....if any are interested.

I try to get there around 7 to visit for a while before we get started.

Ohmigosh! That is just tooo cute! I met a mature wallaby at a herp show in Pheonix a couple years ago. It was there on a leash with a harness. My daughter, Petra got to "walk" it around, but you can't really make it go where you want it to like you do a dog...it pretty much went wherever it wanted. LOL

Are you just fostering this one as a baby...or are you keeping it?

What a DOLL! Gosh... that face is to die for! :oops: Soooo snuggly-wuggly!

Love the pic of Petra too! ^ :D

Awesome! I'm going to try to be there as well. Hope to see you guys there!

Every time I open this thread I die a little from the cuteness!!! He's so adorable! ^_^

LOL ya, they definitely go wherever they want to when they're on a leash / harness. Try walking a 4 ft red Kangaroo! You're pretty much running the entire time lol:rofl:. I'm just fostering him until around january, then he's going back to the lady that 'owns' him (she's a friend of my boss' and has 3 other joey's at home, so she needed help raising a few). She's got a few contacts at zoo's world wide that he might go to, or he could very well stay here and be apart of our educational program. We have two adult wallaby's in our program, so he could definitely join that little mob if he stayed.
