Wallabies
(The Wallaby book is finally here. See bottom of page.)

MunchRanch Exotic Animal Farm and Aviary

has been providing homes for exotic animals since the early '90s. Besides the miniature Zebu cows, exotic cats, dogs, and birds, we also raise Albino and normal wallabies.

As with any animal they are not for everyone. They require a lot of commitment, special diets, special care and have special needs. Large, unaltered adult male wallaroos and kangaroos can be dangerous.

  The wallabies are easy going and like to lounge around. The albino wallabies are more rare than the normal grey wallabies, so they command a much higher price. Owning either one is like having an addition to your family. However,  as adults, they need to live outdoors where they can get sunshine, browse for food, and get proper exercise. They are not good house pets and should not be treated as such.

The photo below is of my friend, 
Dagmar Gruebnau who lived in Germany. 
She named her joey Judy, 
Judy was adopted from Munchranch. She, her son, 
and a local TV film crew flew all  the way here from 
Germany to pick up her orphaned albino wallaby joey.
In memory of my dear friend Dagmar 
who passed away Nov. 9th, 2009. 
 Her joeys were her constant therapy companions.

The Books are in and ready to ship!
Also available is a must have book by: David McCauley  titled; 
"Macropods, Their Care, Breeding and the Rearing of Their Young".  
It is the best, most informative and easy to  understand book I have ever read 
on these wonderful  animals. 
Many vets routinely refer to this book in treating their macropod patients.
It sells for just $68.00,  and is a must for anyone who owns macropods.
This second edition consists of 478 pages of text, diagrams and graphs 
and the accompanying interactive CD contains over 650 photos and 7 video clips.
The retail price is $68.00 plus $3.50 postage.
Postage for drop shipping will be $3.50/book. $4.50 for two books.
Overnight mail is $18.30, only one book can be sent in their envelopes.
Priority mail (2-3 business days) $5.60 for one book. 
This 492-page book was designed as a "How and Why Book,"
informing readers not only how to manage their macropods effectively
but why their management should be conducted in a certain manner.

Author David McCauley's focus in writing this book is to provide the proper information 
written in layman's terms but to also answer the questions a veterinarian 
would require in treating macropods in any medical situation.

He also includes extensive technical information for the person conducting macropod research.
Learning the practical and the scientific aspects of macropod care is where true understanding comes from.
The author's intent is not to scare or steer people away from macropod ownership,
but to inform and educate inexperienced and prospective macropod owners (and their veterinarians)
so as to encourage responsible management and ownership.
The book is designed to also serve as an easy and quick reference tool. 
A considerable amount of preventative medicine has also been incorporated 
into this book as an aid to effective management.

The wallaroo joey by the Chinese Crested Powderpuff puppy made friends. 
It is not recommended to have other pets with the joeys. especially cats 
due to the possible diseases they might get.

Colton and Jordan, experiencing infant care, holding Peanut, a wallaby joey.
Unfortunately, this joey was shot by a pathetic hunter in my area who bragged about his "kill" and now has a rare animals to stuff.
He was bragging all about his 'kill' at a restaurant in town, and had it in the back of his pick up.
Fortunately, not everyone there was impressed.
Unfortunately, an unsecured gate allowed them out, and then under the fence. This is why a perimeter fence is necessary, and locked gates!
They got out, went across the street into a wooded area, but came back, all but the male.
So, thank you Mr. Bubba Tough Guy, for killing an innocent-never harmed anyone, nor your precious hunting lease, just visiting, wallaby.
I did not realize that people who kill living creatures just because they can, were still around in this day and time.
One day, you will also become extinct.
