How to Buy a Pet Wallaroo

Sometimes having a dog or cat for a pet just doesn't do it for you. Perhaps you've set your sights on something a little more exotic like a python or a tarantula. Or maybe something more cute and cuddly, such as a wallaroo. If this is the case, be prepared to do some research on the fuzzy little marsupials and the legalities involved in buying one.

      Research the wallaroo so you know what kind of animal you are getting. Consider factors such as the animal's size, cost and personality traits. Another important consideration is whether or not you have a veterinarian nearby who can treat a wallaroo.

      Surf the web classified ads. Many pet owners simply place an ad on a website, while others find a classified ad site. You may also try local and national pet stores, although it might be harder to find a wallaroo through this method.
