In the kitchen of his Hardin County home, Perry Viator filled and heated small bottles, while 6-month-old Hannah and Lucy hopped back and forth through the living room, their long tails sliding across the carpet behind them. He bent down to feed them the mixture of "Wombaroo" milk, scooping up Hannah and placing in her in a fleece-lined totebag, where she happily settled in, her ears and noes poking out above the opening. The young red kangaroos are two of the 17 marsupials Viator keeps on his 12-acre property, along with several dogs, a miniature donkey named Rocky, and more than 55 red stag deer. Viator, a USDA-licensed breeder, has been selling exotic animals from his Lumberton home for 26 years.
