    ok, i l know what you are thinking, "WTF!" but look at this donedeal ad
    (link removed), look it up yourselves
    and i know someone from donegal who also keeps them.
    but my question isn't about them,
    it's if there is any sellers/breeders in the Munster area? (I'm in cork and am not going to cavan)

    P.S this is not a joke, i have already made an 38x40 foot pen 6 foot high with a house. if wallabies won't do, i'll use it for chickens.
    i know their needs from fota wildlife park, but they don't sell............

    I don't know anyone who breeds them, I'd imagine they're pretty rare. Just be careful because there are alot of scams on websites . . . Donedeal might be ok, but loads of other ones are awful

    Ha ha :) Love it!

    I love the emails pretending to be from your bank - looking for your codes.

    I'd love to reply back and pretend i believe them... play the game :) But im afraid they'd hunt down my IP address or something ha ha

    I saw ads for Chimp babies too once... turned out to be a scam :(

    Actually this is the worse thing you could do, as the only time you are wasting is your own.

    You should never reply to these emails or contact them as it is only verifying your email for them so they know to keep contacting. The best thing you can do is just hit the delete button straight away, otherwise you are just playing into their hands.

    everyday people lose 100's to this 419er's,
    but if i just say a few lies and laughs at them when I'm bored, i keep one scammer from taking someone and steal 100's from them.
    as the ultimate scam-baiter theFailure said:
    It's okay to be a jerk, to those who deserve it

    and if you think im stupid, this guy sent a scammer a washing machine, a dryer, a refridgerator, a phone, a laptop with a
    man sucking a dick
    on the screen, all of his rubbish, and a stove.
    this is a guy who truly pisses the crap out of scammers and wastes his life.

    im a beginner, but scambaiters live everywhere, just like the 419er's

    There's wallabies on Lambay Island. I can see that island from my house, I want to go over there and take one.

    But I wouldn't, obviously :)

    I've never heard of anyone breeding them. Are you sure?

    There are loads of wallibes on Lambay Island - some zoo was getting rid of them years ago and the guy who owns the island took them...cant imagine he would be selling them though
