Mini Guide: Feeding Wallabies & Macropods in the UK
Wallabies, kangaroos, and other macropods are grazing marsupials with specialised nutritional needs. In the UK, access to natural browse may be limited, so a complete, balanced macropod feed is essential for their health.
Key Nutritional Needs
- Fibre: High fibre content supports healthy digestion—macropods are adapted to grazing and browsing.
- Protein: Needed for muscle and tissue development, especially in growing or breeding animals.
- Vitamins & Minerals: Essential for bone strength, coat condition, and overall wellbeing.
How to Feed
- Offer the specialist macropod feed as the main diet, adjusting quantity for age and size.
- Supplement with fresh grass, browse, and safe vegetables where possible.
- Always provide fresh, clean water.
Common Mistakes & Tips
- Avoid feeding high-starch or high-sugar feeds—these can upset the unique digestive system of macropods.
- Ensure feed is kept dry and fresh to prevent spoilage.
