Baby Kangaroos need their mother's milk. IF the mother is dead, then a special formula milk is needed on a regular basis. Cow's milk should not be fed to joeys because it will cause diarrhea.
Consult a veterinarian on whether to start treatment for dehydration.
It is possible to purchase Kangaroo Milk Replacer formula milk, the composition of which must be changed depending on how far they are along.
If you rescue a joey, you should find a registered wildlife carer (most vets will be able to tell you who to contact), as these people understand the needs of rescued Australian wildlife. Untrained persons will likely be unable to properly care for an orphaned joey by themselves, and it may die.
* In any case, even where permitted (state of Victoria), a special authorization and license must be obtained to keep kangaroos and other Australian wildlife. It is illegal to keep a kangaroo as a pet without this authorization.

∙ 12y agoThe question is purely academic and therefore does not warrant an answer. Kangaroos may not be kept as pets, despite the fact that many people flaunt the law and do keep them. Registered wildlife carers may look after sick or injured kangaroos for a period of time. If you must ask the question, then you are not qualified to have a kangaroo.
