Best Answer

A female kangaroo cleans her pouch by licking it out. She is able to push her long snout in to clean it effectively, removing the urine and faeces of the young joey by using her tongue.

The female kangaroo works her tongue around a young joey that is still attached to the teat. Older joeys will be temporarily ejected while the mother cleans the pouch.

Where do baby kangaroos go to the restroom during the time they are in the pouch?

Animals do not "go to the restroom". They excrete waste. For the first couple of months that a joey is in the pouch, it excretes very little waste. Whatever it does excrete goes in the pouch. Once the joey is much older, it begins to leave the pouch for short periods of time. This is when the mother kangaroo takes the opportunity to clean out her pouch.
