Would you keep a kangaroo as a pet? Why? Why not?

Well, I should saw yes and no. Yes because some people have successfully domesticated them. However, this is the exception rather than the rule. Kangaroos succumb very easily to stress related diseases. And they need alot of space since they can be very large. Add to this the fact that they can cover 40-45 miles per hour when running. Wallabies and kangaroos can also catch diseases very easily from domestic animals and need a very big grassed area to live in and in the company of their own kind.
