Isn't this a toy at Wally's Wildlife? They have a page on Facebook and I believe a TikTok profile with this thing being tossed around like a punching bag?

Hi there @aschatria no this is not a tor at Wallys' wildlife, WTF is Wally anyway?
@yurpia Yurpia is a licensed wildlife carer for WIRES in NSW and this is a teddy that has been hung up in the enclosure for the youngest orphaned joeys to play with and as they get older, they will play with the teddys to learn all kinds of things to help them be able to defend themselves when they are released into the wild.
And they even have smaller teddys in the manmade pouches that they do cuddle up to when they're sleeping, just like every other animals does.
Joeys or Kangaroos at any age are not pets and certainly not for entertainment purposes so I will definitely be checking out this wally guy.
I look forward to tagging you in the documentary when I have finished editing it, so you can see the real Australia and our animals.
Also @aschatria here was my post back on the 1st Dec with some of shots of Yurpia and the Joeys on her property in northern NSW https://peakd.com/hive-155530/@chocolatescorpi/a-whirlwind-and-wonderful-wednesday-walk-for-my-birthday-part-2-hive-155530
If I remember correctly, there are 2-3 stuffed teddys hanging around her property for the joeys too.
here is a peek into my LaCie SSD where you will see 2 thumbnails from my interviews of Yurpia with 2 teddys.
And if you don't believe me, here is a look into my LaCie SSD with the thumbnails from the interviews of Yurpia and 2 of the teddys.
I hope that helps you realise that same wonderful mission, but 2 different carers in 2 totally different locations.
AND it sounds like you didn't even bother reading the story in her post either!

hi,
To answer your question, kangaroos in captivity need stimulation just like they would in the wild.
ive raised Archi from 8 months old,hes about 2 and a 1/2 now.hes the Alpha male on the property im on.he is released and free to venture where he likes.
the teddy's so he can practise his play kicks to strengthen his back legs and when the time comes he may need to defend his place the mob.
these are VERY interesting complex animals,I invite you to watch the movie,
