They are not.

1. It is illegal to keep a koala as a pet.

2. Most people do not understand that koalas cannot eat gum leaves from just any eucalyptus tree, so they have specialised dietary needs.

3. Koalas spend between 20 and 22 hours a day sleeping. They would not make good pets if one was looking for an affectionate and playful pet.

Quite simply, koalas are a protected species. This means it is illegal to have a koala. Few people understand the needs of a koala, and opening up native animals to being owned as pets leads the way to abuse.
