Such an action would be animal cruelty, and also illegal anywhere in the world except for the Australian state of Victoria.

Kangaroos and wallabies are protected by Australian law, and are not permitted as pets in Australia, except for the state of Victoria. They should not be purchased by people overseas to satisfy a whim for an exotic pet. These animals cannot be domesticated. Within Australia, they may only be kept by a registered wildlife carer who has a licence.

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. It also increases the likelihood of abuse. Reports coming back to the RSPCA in Australia indicate that some of these animals have ended up in shelters.

You can't get them to walk on a leash normally. This is because they are not dogs and wander everywhere when they are on a leash. You can buy leashes from pet shops but you have to keep in mind that the guinea pig will not follow you, you have to follow it.
