Oh how fun, Sherry - love the pics. They are so darn cute!! |
Oh I love those pics! What a cutie patootie!! |
Apparently, Florida allows people to own them with proper permitting. "According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Web site, a wallaby owner must obtain a class III wildlife permit, which requires the owner to fill out a questionnaire about the animals care. The permit is free and is the same class permit required for raccoons, opossums and skunks." Read more: Wandering Wallaby Loose in Florida | Fox News I'm not so sure it'd work for me; they require a LOT of care. He sure was adorable though & I hope he comes for more visits. I learned a little about them from his owners. Did you know that you can break their ribs by picking them up around the middle? I nearly passed out when his owner picked him up by his tail but then he explained that to me. Walter was very talkative once he got down on the floor & had a look around. He makes a loud clicking sound that reminds me of a squirrel. For those of you wondering, I kept the dogs in my bedroom while he was here even though he's just a baby joey still. :) Did you see those toenails? :eek: |
OMG!!!! I WANT A WALLABY!!!!! Isnt that just adorable!!!! Bless his heart....does she raise them to sell to people......(NO! I am kidding about actually wanting one!!.....) or is she rehabing them? |

oh my that is so cool, I was wondering how the pups reacted so I was glad to see you post what you did with them. I got a kick out of the diaper, your pouch looks perfect for him. I bet you are the only designer on Yorkie Talk that can add Wallaby pouches to their resume:D |

Thanks but the pouch in the pics isn't one I made. They'd brought him & the pouch so I could get an idea of what they want. Theirs is actually a small cave bed that they added a strap to (by poking a hole & tying a knot!). Mine will have duel adjustable straps so that little joeys can be carried by their very tall dad or shorter mom while staying horizontal. |
Just seeing this thread Sherry!! OMG how cool and I am so jealous..my fav animal since childhood :) So precious. |
love the pics....walter is adorable...i would not want to have to trim those nails though!! what an amazing experience!! |

Mine too! I must have sounded like a blubbering idiot on the phone when she called me originally "oh!...awww!..how sweet is that?" LOL |

Talk about nervous! Who wants to get thumped by a critter for cutting into the quick? Not me, thank you very much! |
2 Attachment(s) Here's a couple pics of Walter's new ride. I'm not sure what to call it since it's 1/2 cave bed & 1/2 carry pouch. :) I think it turned out pretty good considering all I had to work with was a few pics & my own noggin. It's made so that there are no inside seams for him to chew or pick at. They're coming back tonight to pick up the new pouch. That means I get to see sweet Walter again! :D |
Amazing! He is so adorable. Good job on the pouch. |
oh that new pouch came out great, I think they are going to love your design, hopefully they will let you take another picture of Water in his new ride |
Here's an album that you all can share with anyone; even if they don't have FB they can see this album :D https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=9a120ca115 |
