Qualifications For Adopting An Infant Bennetts Wallaby
The Fall City
Wallaby Ranch is most interested in finding qualified homes for the
infant Wallabies who are born at the Ranch.
There are few, yet important requirements for qualification
to adopt. These
requirements include:
1.)
Families or
individuals, who are intending to adopt a baby, must be interested
and willing to raise a “baby”.
Infant wallabies are entirely dependent on their mom for
feeding, potty stimulation and entertainment and as such require a
considerable commitment in time and attention for 3 to 4 months as
they gain independence and confidence.
New babies receive six bottles per day as well as their start
on developing a taste for solid foods and should be held, loved and
socialized as much as possible to develop a well rounded and
personable nature.
2.)
Adoptive parents
must be able to provide housing with an outdoor enclosure, large
enough for their Wallaby to exercise and have access to ample
grazing and browsing area.
Shelter, shaded areas and provisions for protection from
extremes of temperature are a must.
Consideration must be given for vigilant attention to the
need to protect your Wallaby from predators, neighborhood dogs and
cats as well.
3.)
Adoptive parents
must be financially capable of providing for proper feeding, housing
and medical attention as needed.
4.)
Adoptive parents
must be personally stable and have stable homes to properly provide
for the raising of an exotic animal with the special needs of a
Wallaby.
5.)
Adoptive parents
must be willing to travel to the Fall City Wallaby Ranch to pick up
their baby or to finance the personal delivery of their baby to
them. The Fall City
Wallaby Ranch will not ship a bottle baby with other than personal
care. If you are
adopting and raising your first Wallaby, the Fall City Wallaby Ranch
will provide vehicular transportation (upon arrival in Seattle),
housing and care training to qualified Adoptive Parents for as many
days as is necessary to learn to properly care for their new baby.
6.)
The Fall City
Wallaby Ranch should be contacted to answer any questions you may
have. No two cases are
the same and no two babies are the same.
We are happy to work with you to determine what may be the
best for your circumstances and on the specifics of how to set up
your facility or deal with the technicalities of Wallaby ownership.
