This also keeps any creature such as a dog outside the pen from becoming to interested in the wallaby world inside and attempting to enter it. Wallabies are very susceptible to stress and being chased by the neighbor's dog is a good way to end-up with a wallaby killed from stress myopathy. The outside enclosure need not be of enormous size. For one or two wallabies an area found in an average size back yard is more than sufficient. If owning a mob of wallabies numbering ten or so is your eventual goal then much thought must be given to the size of the enclosure.
Wallabies do quite well in a wide range of temperatures and climates.
In extremely cold climates some people use heat lamps or heat mats on the floor of the shelter. The water supply should be kept fresh and covered in order to prevent contamination from bird droppings which carry disease deadly to wallabies. The food dish or hanging feeder should also be covered. Plenty of shade should be available to wallabies in hot weather.
