This depends on the species. Larger species such as Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos begin to feed on solid food from about seven months onwards, while smaller ones such as the Musky rat-kangaroo will start to feed after only a couple of months in the pouch, as they have a much shorter pouch-life. Even after joeys of all species begin to make their first forays into the outside world, they will continue to return to the mother's pouch for safety and even for milk for several months more.
