"Joey" is a general term referring to all marsupial young. Therefore, it would depend on the species of marsupial. Even within the commonly known kangaroo family, there are over sixty species, so there is no single answer.
For the animals most commonly recognised as kangaroos (e.g. Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos), the average is about 7 months while they are still in the pouch. They may continue to suckle for several months longer, but are no longer dependent solely on the mother's milk.

Baby wallabies, or joeys, feed exclusively on the female wallaby's milk. There are different types of milk according to the age of the joey. If one finds an orphaned joey, it is imperative that the animal be taken to a registered wildlife carer who understands the joey's specialised needs. A vet will know how to contact such a carer.
