I think it’s time that the species list for NSW had a few additions. Hopefully some mammals?

quokkas are &$*holes, dont be fooled

the ones ive worked with would constantly go to bite your ankles


But seriously, native animals, macropods, wombats etc do not make good pets once they reach a certain age

You've convinced me. I'll have a wombat instead lol.

What makes you say they don't make good pets? Turtles and snakes don't need or want cuddles either. Fish certainly don't and are very popular pets. Plenty of people keep native mammals as pets and love them. Sugar Gliders, a mammal native to Australia, are one of the most common and popular pets in Asia.
