Can wombats be tamed?

Question

These little guys are adorable, and I just wonder if they are considered too wild for taming. I would love to move to Australia and have a pet wombat. I would take him for walks on a leash :D

Answer 1

On the following website, it says it's not legal to keep wombats as pets in 'most' of Australia. I would have thought it was illegal to keep them in all parts of Australia, but it may be legal to keep them in some places, but I don't know anybody who has one. (I live in Australia).

I guess it must be legal somewhere, because the website says they don't make good pets, and there are photos of some extremely painful-looking wombat bites on the site as well.

I'd suggest forgetting about keeping wombats as pets and going for a nice, normal pet that will stay tame.

Here's the website that has info. about them.
