Wally, an eight-month-old wallaby, escaped from SCNE – At the Farm in Leadgate, Consett, on Saturday (May 31) afternoon.
His owners believe he was frightened and ran off after a member of the public climbed over a fence into the area where he was staying with his brother.

Since then, several attempts have been made to bring Wally back, but he remains missing.
He was spotted at Prospect Business Park on Monday (June 2) and was also caught on dashcam footage near the A692 Leadgate Bypass over the weekend.
In a social media appeal, the farm said Wally was last seen near the A692 and urged people not to chase him.
The post said: “Please do not chase him, you will get him killed.”
The farm added: “We would really appreciate anyone keeping us in the loop on his whereabouts. Or even better, someone being able to help him home. His brother misses him.”
SCNE – At the Farm is a therapy farm where children with disabilities can spend time with animals and help with jobs around the farm.
Photos and videos of Wally have been shared on social media as the search continues.
Anyone who sees Wally is asked not to approach him and to contact the farm on 07903 249493 with any information.
