A young kangaroo will stop nursing and be able to get its own food when they are 18 months old. Though the kangaroo will leave the pouch much sooner, they leave the pouch at around nine months of age.
Kangaroos do not store food.
It differs according to the species. Most kangaroos get their food from their grassland or bushland habitat, as they feed on grasses and young tree leaves and shoots. Tree kangaroos obtain their food from the rainforest trees in which they live. Smaller members of the kangaroo family such as the tiny, omnivorous musky rat-kangaroos finds their food in the leaf-litter on the rainforest floor, while the potoroo digs for truffles.
No. Tree kangaroos do not hide their food.
Generally, they don't. As larger kangaroos are herbivores they don't hunt, but feed on grasses and young shoots. Smaller species of kangaroos such as musky rat-kangaroos prey on small invertebrates such as earthworms and grasshoppers. They are nocturnal, so they spend much of the night time hours hunting.

No. Baby joeys that are still in the pouch feed on mothers' milk. Older joeys learn to graze with their mothers.
Kangaroos have paws not arms they use there paws to grasp food
Red kangaroos, being herbivores, do not need to catch food. They graze on stationary grass and vegetation.
Although the preferred food of Red kangaroos is grasses and young tree shoots, they do enjoy grains. They certainly seeds seed mixtures when they are available. People living on the fringes of suburban areas put out seed mixtures for birds in low-hanging dishes, only to find the food being eaten by either possums or kangaroos (usually wallabies).
Kangaroo meat is a food. It is mainly available for consumption in Australia, where kangaroos are very common. It is a meat that is eaten by animals and people.
Raccoons feed their young by regurgitating food for them when they are still nursing. As the young raccoons grow older, the mother will also bring solid food back to the den for them to eat. The mother raccoon teaches her young how to forage and hunt for food as they get older.
