This varies depending on the species. For the larger macropods most commonly recognised as kangaroos, the joey is in the mother kangaroo's pouch for about eight months (235 days), depending on the species. The young Joey continues to suckle until it is about 12 months old.

When do kangaroos leave their parents?

Kangaroos typically leave their mother's pouch at around 6 to 8 months of age. However, they continue to nurse and stay close to their mothers for several more months, usually until they are about 12 to 18 months old. By this age, they are more independent and can forage for food on their own while still occasionally returning to their mother for safety and guidance.

How does a mother kangaroo get meat for its young?

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.
