A Melbourne resident has recalled locking a kangaroo in his toilet after it broke into his house over the weekend.

Mafi Ahokavo, his partner and his three-year-old son were sleeping in their deer park home Saturday night when they woke to a “big bang”.

Upon investigating, Mr Ahokavo found a kangaroo had smashed through a window and was now wandering through his home.

Mr Ahokavo said he was left stunned by the discovery.

"I haven't even seen a kangaroo in my life,” he told 9NEWS.

The runaway roo succeeded in breaking another window, scratching a car and damaging some walls before Mr Ahokavo managed to lock it in the toilet.

Mr Ahokavo then called the police, who in turned contacted Wildlife Victoria, prompting a visit by animal rescuer Manfred Zabinskas.

Mr Zabinskas said when he turned up, the roo was “in a pretty bad way”.

“He was laying down and didn't get up when I approached him, so we did sedate him because he was conscious and terrified,” Mr Zabinskas said.

The roo had suffered a number of lacerations and significant blood less and had to be taken to a Wildlife Victoria shelter, where it is currently recovering.

Mr Zabinskas said incidents like these are becoming increasingly common due to urban sprawl.

"Basically we've created a situation we've taken over their homes and they've got caught up in urban sprawl,” he said.

“We're shifting into the few areas left where our kangaroos are living.”
