Kangaroos are not meat-eaters. The mother kangaroo suckles the joeys for up to nine months. When the joey is old enough to leave the pouch for short periods of time, it begins to try out grass and vegetation for itself. The mother never gets food for it.

Omnivorous kangaroos such as rat-kangaroos (not the same as kangaroo rats) also collect insect larvae for themselves once they are old enough to leave the pouch. Again, the mother never collects it for them.
