How much do quokkas cost? Where and how to buy a quokka? This video will answer it for you.
We go into all the facts about habit, behavior, personality, required space and legal rules on why you cannot buy quokkas. Yes that's right, quokkas are not for sale.
Australia if you're listening we need to do something to actually protect the quokkas before they go extinct. I found a quokka hit by a bicycle that unfortunately died. You make so much money from all the tourists that go there but you don't want to help the quokkas. Stop being so greedy and do something to save the quokkas.

5:11 oh my i feel bad for that quokka😢😢

[@annaswanson5903]

You’re right, the quokka’s deserve to benefit from the tourism money and not have their habitat destroyed. I’m surprised that there’s no vet esp since I bet a lot of islanders make their incomes off of bringing people there for selfies

[@gec-o2167]

That poor Quokka... whoever did that to him/her needs to die. I realize this video is over a year old, but were you able to get aid- what happened to him/her? I've seen videos posted here of idiots feeding them biscuits and handling them-- people suck.

[@soniagovani]

So sad, I hope this video helps people understand that they cannot be pets 🙈

[@tashinka_]

They absolutely have to get a vet on the island. This is horrible heartbreaking situation that nobody could help the animal.Something needs to be done. Omg 😢

[@LCCC16]

We Need A quokka vet on the island

[@annc7739]

If we want to live around quokkas, just work and reside in Rottnest Island! Maybe help conserve and replant the quokkas’ environmental habitat. One problem though.. the more human inhabitants in Rottnest, the greater chances these smiling cuties will become extinct...😩

[@mimallen8386]

Also, with some of the donations, maybe they could hire a Vet. to come in and treat them when they are sick? A quokka Sanctuary should be top priority.

[@noonesocial3837]

Interesting. Seems like if you wanted there to be more Quokkas you would want there to be a profit incentive to breed them.

[@AgressiveInliners]

No kidding. Dudes talking about dangerous claws like he's never heard of a cat before. He has no actual reasons why they can't be adopted into the pet trade.

[@krowkovtuber]

the guy: repeatedly telling everyone that their dream of keeping the happiest animal alive in their house is utterly impossible because they are literally dying and we are horrible terrible depressed creatures unworthy of the existence of quokkas near our vicinity the anime girls in the video: *W H O A A*

[@kozanwilsontheps4trophyhun851]

Very sad. Please don't keep a quokka as a pet because it's illegal and it was protected. Buy the plush one instead.

[@victoriafinlin6132]

So cute so happy the happiest animal ever seen poor thing

[@kellykittyantlers9140]

So like ... You tried to get that little quokka help, right? Called an authority? Something? You didn't just ramble on about everything we *can't* do and then walk away to edit your video - right?

[@zalwakhaula4582]

This is the exact same question that i have.

[@3030toby]

He literally said that there was no vet that could help it

[@gretchen725]

They just so cute and cuddly 😍😍😍

[@themindofthecreator983]

But no their mother will leave them 😕

[@compatriot852]

Making them pets and breeding them would actually probably be one of their best bets for survival. Look at the axolotl, it is a harder to keep animal, but its usage as a pet has saved its numbers and massively prevented inbreeding

[@TXgeargirl]

So sad poor quokka 😢

[@Αγλαία-π5η]

Hello. Did the fires affect these little animals?

[@TheAlphaG0ldfish]

Oh my that poor quokka

[@kitkatdani]

POOR QUOKKA NO WHY NOOOOO

[@jamesnewman4351]

Couldn't you have taken that agonizing quokka to a vet instead of just standing there??!! That broke my heart. Sorry i love your videos , i just had to say it.

[@daxon]

There is no vet on the island, zero. That's why it needs to change. The ranger came, but again has zero vet skills or knowledge and just put it down. This starts the conversation of getting a vet on the island

[@daxon]

It was also 6am on Sunday morning, nobody around

[@jamesnewman4351]

@@daxon thanks for explaining . Didn't mean to be an arse but i broke out into tears when i saw that. Perhaps you could talk to authorities and do your best to have a vet on the Island. I mean if tourism is getting more and more there will be more and more quokkas and other animals involved in accidents. Is there anything i can do?

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

@@jamesnewman4351 we understan how you feel. But no vet and too many people, there should be a vet charge for the tourists.

[@morty20001976]

[@78shamrocker]

If it's in my backyard it's a pet lol

[@mimallen8386]

I would think the Australian Government would tear down those tourist buildings and block off that land for the endangered quokkas. Build up their habitat and not allow humans in. Then only on a guided tour when they make a come back. Something has to be done to save them!

[@mshinasherman7914]

I can clone them it's ok you want a quakka creature dm me. If you want a army of humanoid quakka things dm me.

[@TheWharbleHarble]

that poor broken backed quokka I would take care of him D:

[@st.dennie1149]

Lefty brain: "It's be better for this animal that only exists in one place to be exploited and slowly die out! Keeping them as pets would be EEEEEEEVILLLLL!" The people that say this have NO comprehension of life in "the wild" or even an inkling of what it feels like to go hungry. I'm glad that pet traders are selling Quokkas!

[@LCCC16]

I am Australian but I am not on rottenest island so I probably won't see one

[@kobyhopf7685]

i still want one

[@PussnBoot2516]

Can we please sign a petition to stop this!? This is the THEIR home people should know this and if we have a petition maybe they could ban the Island and even help other endangered species thrive!

[@alexmirag3513]

The tourism industry isn’t as strong without the island and its not fair for people who work/live there

[@elsamoore8245]

@@alexmirag3513 I know it seems harsh but they could maybe find other jobs like....instead of people working a tourism business they could help quokkas and other species to thrive and people could come and LEARN about them not run them over with a bike, and then those children or people can be inspired and maybe want to help the animals in the future💖

[@JFGermann]

Ok, it's illegal and stuff. I got that... So how much?

[@or2130]

If you want animals to continue to grow you breed them, not leave them endangered In the same environment i think allowing people to buy them and make them pets would be a good thing since they're population would grow all over the world, the only logical reason to exclusively keep them there is for money (tourism) but the problem is the country as a whole isn't doing anything to help these animals or breed them to a healthier population so what's the point ?

[@joselaw6669]

Selling Quoakkas should be legalized, only if you manage everything and not just taking them from the wild.

[@daxon]

But they can only be found in the wild, so any private Quokka was stolen from the wild

[@user-qs6xz1bu6b]

Agree, if they were legal they will never go extint

[@brunoyudi9555]

That's not how domestication works you'd end up with a miserable and unhealthy animal
