hi @quiplet , in the past there have been cases where they have been kept as pets, but for the most part it is not legal to keep them as pets unless they have been orphaned. i have provided a pic and a link with a bit more info on them for you from the internet :) the guys i encountered were huge !!! would have been around the 60cm (23inches) height, so pretty big for wombats and they are quite a solid animal too.
Hefty little guys. They look very friends. Thank you for the link. You are so sweet for your concerns for them.
yeah they tubby little critters, lol
