Nev Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 normal..... no ... In some states it is even illegal, in Victoria for example you are not allowed to touch any local animals, so no holding koala's in Victoria, NSW it is not a problem...Not sure if they would let you keep them as pets tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 We have a South African lady here in Emerald, Qld, who is a wild life carer, she came to visit me one day for a coffee and brought her Joey with so he could be fed, she is amazing, is forever rescuing Joeys and Kaolas, and funds this out of her own pocket, with a few small donations from a tin and the Vet's office. One day when she had quite a few Joeys, her husband even took some to work and left them in their bags on the chairs in the boardroom and fed them during the day. A labour of love.

Fish Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 You probably just need to sign up as a wildlife carer to be allowed to do it...they are often looking for people to sign up and help look after injured animals in their home. Of course in less urban parts people would just do it regardless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
