It is illegal to own pet koalas, though it is possible to volunteer to foster one. In that case, you basically can care for the koala in whole.

Are koalas good pets?

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.
