The oestrus cycle for a whiptail wallaby lasts for only 42 days. Joeys stay in their mothers' pouches for the first nine months. When they leave, they will still stay with them for up to 18 months.

When they do gather in groups, they have a social hierarchy similar to other wallaby species. A recent study has demonstrated that wallabies, as other social or gregarious mammals, are able to manage conflict via reconciliation, involving the post-conflict reunion, after a fight, of former opponents, which engage in affinitive contacts.
