Best Answer

A new born kangaroo is little more than a centimetre long. This is little more than half an inch. It climbs to the mother's pouch and feeds there for about seven months, before emerging from the pouch for short periods of time.

This depends on the season, and the quality and quantity of the food source.

Female kangaroos have embryonic diapause, which means they can actually suspend the development of the embryo while it is still in the womb. It may suspend it for months or even years, awaiting a good season when the land will be able to support more kangaroos.
