Yes. It is against the law to own either an adult kangaroo or a joey anywhere in the world, and this includes Australia. Australian law prohibits anyone from owning Australian fauna without a valid zoo license.

Regardless of local laws in the US, it is actually illegal to own a kangaroo anywhere. Many people do not realise this.

The Australian government has only permitted the export of kangaroos and wallabies overseas for non-commercial purposes. This means that smaller, private zoos have been permitted to have them. Unfortunately, this has resulted in numerous kangaroos and wallabies escaping from their enclosures (due to mismananagement and lack of understanding of the animals' needs), causing the development of feral populations overseas.

Despite permitting the export of these animals, this still does not mean that kangaroos or wallabies may be kept as pets. Anyone who sells kangaroos or wallabies overseas is, in effect, flouting Australian law by exploiting them for commercial purposes.

How does a kangaroo raise it's chilf?

If one has to ask how to raise a baby kangaroo, then one is clearly not in a position to take on this responsibility. Kangaroos require specialised attention, and that is why only registered wildlife carers are permitted to raise joeys if the mother is unable to do so. Raising a baby kangaroo under any other circumstances is illegal. Please take the joey to a vet who understands Australian native wildlife.
