This is Baby Franklin!  
Franklin is $1800  

Franklin's price is reduced because he is getting older and is no longer an inside pouch baby.  Franklin actually moved outside full time the last day of July. 

Franklin went on a bottle on May 21, 2023.  (Momma's raise them in the pouch for the first 8 months or so. We put them on the bottle when they are nearly done in Mom's pouch. (when they start hopping out) This gives them time to become friendly with humans and get used to new things so they are not terrified and hitting fences etc.) 

​Franklin did just quit taking bottles recently.  We stop bottles for males at 10# if they are not getting neutered and Franklin is not neutered yet.  Franklin's best home would probably be as a companion for a lonely wallaby that also lives outside or as a 100% outdoor pet.   Franklin has not had a ton of interactions with humans as he only sees me.  Most the males are a little braver than the females though, and Franklin does enjoy hopping circles around me and being petted.  I believe he would do well in a hands on petting zoo as he is not aggressive acting at all and is brave enough to approach strangers.  He would also do well in a family situation with more interaction, but then he would need to be neutered preferrably ( unless he was planned to be used as a breeder later.) I did quit babying him around 10# to keep him from getting aggressive later on if he does not get neutered.  
​
Franklin is FOR SALE because I have TWELVE wallabies already and I own his parents, Olivia & Stuart 
Franklin does not have a buyer yet because everyone on our list wants girls , and he is a boy. (and he was born right after another boy, so he just doesn't have the perfect family yet!) 

My goal for Franklin is that he find the VERY BEST family to love him.  So far, that has been ME.  (and if that is what it is, then I am okay with that).  If/When Franklin sells I will make sure his family is well prepared for him.   Franklin comes with lifetime buyer support from us. You can call, message me etc.. anytime you have questions about Franklin.  Franklin SHOULD be neutered by his new family so he can be the best pet!! (unless his new family is looking for a future breeder of course :) ) 

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT WALLABY JOEYS IN GENERAL
(This is to answer some questions I am frequently asked) 

Are wallaby Joeys good with kids or dogs?

Before you ask me if a joey is "good with kids" or "good with other animals", I need you to ask yourself the question, "Is my child (or children) good with animals that are fragile and new to our household".  The same with your dogs etc... same question, and answer it honestly before you proceed.   Joeys do need to be kept away from cats and their litter etc.. as they can die from toxoplasmosis, even as adults .

Also, if you have dogs, I believe that joeys and dogs do okay together, (but we don't have any dogs) AND if we did, I would NEVER trust a joey alone, unsupervised with the family dogs, just because wallabies are prey animals and dogs are predators.  I HAVE heard a few stories about the family dog injuring/killing the family wallaby, so I can't reccommend that they are ever left together unsupervised. 

Can wallabies be potty trained?  

Short answer: not really.  They can be puppy pad trained to a point, and some do better than others. I have never kept them in the house full time forever so I am not sure how it goes if you try that. It has worked for us short term, but once they got 8# or so they would poop while they hopped, like a rabbit, and then it didn't work so well.  I have never REALLY TRIED though, so I can't say for sure.  I don't recommend it just because I feel they really need outside time to hop and jump and just be wallabies.  I have heard of some wallabies being trained to go potty outside, like a dog.  You would need a fence that goes RIGHT UP to your house in order to do this safely, as wallabies spook easily and if they had the chance to take off, especially if something scared them,  they might, and they would be far from home in no time and maybe scared, unable to get home etc.  

What diapers do you buy? 

I do not buy anything fancy as we don't use them often or for long periods. I buy the cheapest human diapers you can buy. You put them on backward and cut a hole out for the tail.  I buy diapers that are much larger than needed so they can be loose so as not to rub on the wallabies skin and cause any irritation.  I can show you how to put these on and also what other options there are for naked potty training.  (short term, but they move outside much faster if you skip diapers completely) 

What do wallabies eat?  

My wallabies prefer browse over anything (branches) but they also eat grasses, hay, and wallaby food called Happy Hopper Mac Flakes bought from PetPro.  Mazuri also makes a wallaby food but my wallabies do not like it.  I tried it for many years before I went exclusively with PetPro Happy Hopper. 

Are Wallabies Legal to Own?  

Short Answer: Yes, In MN and MANY STATES wallabies are 100% legal to own as exotic pets.  You would need to contact YOUR STATE to find out the answer to this question.  I have not run into a state yet that it was illegal to own them. If you do not know how to contact your state, I can find you the phone number for the correct agency if you contact me.  You can also call MN Board of Animal Health and they can tell you the correct agency and phone number for your state. (that is how I find it) 
If you are using Google to find out if they are legal in your state, don't bother and CALL YOUR STATE OR MY STATE instead. I just googled it.   On a current "March 2023" list, Google claims they are illegal in NINE states (that's it) but 2 of them on the "illegal" list I have sold to LEGALLY in the last couple years.  (just this month even)  How do I know the sale was legal?  My vet called that state and got permission for the wallaby to enter the state with their CVI (health certificate.) If it is not legal in that state, permission is not granted. 

Do Wallabies make good pets?  

This question is asking for an opinion... not a fact.   Obviously, I think that wallabies are good pets, or I would not sell them and I would not personally own 12 of them!  I LOVE wallabies, but they are probably not for everyone, and this is the reason that I INSIST potential buyers CALL ME on the phone so I can talk to them about wallabies and answer their questions (and ask my own of course) 

Are Wallabies expensive to feed?  

It costs me about $100 a month to buy Happy Hopper for 12 wallabies.  I feel this is much cheaper than feeding many animals, even my several house cats.  I do live on 50 acres of land though, and I have access to browse to feed my wallabies every day.  For wallaby joeys I currently buy Fox Valley wallaby formula. This is about $240 for 20#. (plus shipping)  When you compare that puppy esbilac formula is about $140 for 5#, I also feel this is not terribly expensive.  Many people buy Wombaroo, which is about $479 for 22 pounds plus shipping.  I have tried Wombaroo twice because I purchased babies that were on it, and I really didn't like the growth rate on it, but that is just me.  (I do think part of the issue with the babies growth rates is that the sellers were watering it down due to the price.)
If you wish to buy wombaroo it is a perfectly good choice. 

How tall should my fence be? 
​How much space do I need for a wallaby? 

Personally, I would not keep a wallaby in any fence under 6 feet tall.  As far as space goes, wallabies want a lot of space to jump and run so the more space the better.  When wallabies hop/ run/ jump they actually have a specific way of breathing that bring more oxygen to their muscles and is essential to their overall good health.  I do not really feel a 100% in the house wallaby would get this essential exercise.
