Kangaroo Creek Farms has been keeping kangaroos and wallabies for more than 20 years on a farm in Lake Country near Kelowna BC. They do not promote them as house-pets but rather as alternative hobby farm pets to very specific types of situations. They currently have Red Kangaroos (the largest type of kangaroo), Common Wallaroos and Bennett Wallabies (which are mid sized), and Dama Wallabies (one of the smallest wallaby species). Also on site they have emu, peacocks, fancy chickens, goats, parrots, a baby albino wallaby, baby kangaroos and potbellied pigs. They also have capybara, the world’s largest rodent, which can weigh more than 150 lbs!
Visitors can enjoy wandering amongst the kangaroos. The staff are very knowledgeable about kangaroos and wallabies and are on hand to answer any questions you might have about various species, habitat, breeding, diet, housing and general physiology. Your visit can be as educational an experience as you choose to make it.
