Albino kangaroos, if they survive to adulthood, eat exactly the same as other kangaroos. There is no species known as 'albino kangaroo': an albino is just a Red or Grey kangaroo with an absence of pigment, or melanin.
Kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation, feeding in the early morning and late afternoon/evening towards sunset. Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves of native shrubs. They enjoy grains as well, but being herbivorous, they do not eat any other animals.

Where do Albino kangaroos live?
Kangaroos are native to Australia. Therefore, it stands to reason that albino kangaroos are also found only in Australia. Albino kangaroos are not found in the wild. The very nature of their albinism renders them more vulnerable to prey. They are only ever found in snactuaries and zoos.
What is an albino kangaroo?
Albino kangaroos, or white kangaroos are quite rare. In an albino kangaroo, the normal colouring is absent, and the kangaroo has white fur and sometimes (not always) pink eyes. As with all albino animals, albino kangaroos have a reduced amount of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin, and hair. Albino kangaroos rarely survive long in the wild. Their eyes and skin have increased sensitivity to sunlight, so they are more prone to sunburn. Their lack of camouflage (white colouring stands out in the wild) also makes them easy targets for predatory animals and birds of prey. Albino kangaroos often have impaired vision as well, so may find it more difficult to dodge predators. Apart from that, they are just as healthy as their normal coloured counterparts.

How much do red kangaroos eat?
Red kangaroos eat only plants and other vegetation
Are there such things as white kangaroos?
Yes, just like many other animals, there can be kangaroos which grow white fur. On occasion, there are even albino kangaroos. This occurs genetically when an animal has no pigment in it's cells, causing the skin and fur to be completely white and the irises in the eye to be red. Albino animals don't survive very long in the wild because their lack or coloring and camoflage makes then very easy targets for predators.
Do wolves eat kangaroos?
No. Wolves and kangaroos occupy different continents. No doubt if they occupied the same continent, wolves would indeed eat kangaroos.
Can kangaroos eat pizza?
Kangaroos should not eat pizza. Kangaroos are strictly herbivores, and pizza would be an unhealthy substitute for their natural diet.
Do kangaroos eat frogs?
Answer: As larger kangaroos are herbivores, they feed on grasses and tender shoots, and therefore do not eat grasshoppers. Smaller species of kangaroos such as musky rat-kangaroos prey on small invertebrates such as earthworms and grasshoppers.
