This is a bit of a long story 
I used to do wildlife caring, i have raised 7 baby possums and one wallaby, from when they have no fur and you have to wake up every 3 hours to feed them hahaha
Well, the last one i did was about 5 years ago!
And this morning, mum just called me and told me she found a dead wallaby on the road, and there is a little baby in its pouch, its so sad, people just hit them and drive off without checking pouches!
So mum asked me and said if i wanted to raise it, and then when it gets old enough, we take it to a wild life rehabilitation area, where you release them and they teach them to be free again!
I said yes, of course, they are adorable, having this little wallaby cuddling into you, giving kisses, chasing after you..
Mum is taking it to the vet first, to make sure its healthy, so i asked her to ask about if its safe to be around Fargo...
You guys might not have any idea about wallabies, but i thought i would check!
Is there diseases or anything dangerous that can be transferred across to Fargo?
I would keep it in my big walk in ward drobe while its a baby, so Fargo wouldnt actually be able to get into it/bite it or anything like that..
I could also put a big sheet across the entrance of it, so fargo has absolutely no access into that area..
Sooooo, do you think it would be ok.. or will it have some disease that Fargo might get and make him sick?
Or do i need to quarantine it for a week or so in another room?
Should i email my avian vet and see what he says, even though he probably doesnt know about wallabies either
I have no idea haha

If I was in your place I would contact your avian vet to see what they think. I think it would be fine as long as the wallaby is healthy.
OMG!! WHAT an exciting day, Tab!!!
