Three baby koalas have been stolen from a house in Brisbane's east.

Police said the three koala joeys were taken between 9:00pm on Thursday and 6:00am on Friday from an address in Ormiston.

The animals are about 14 months old and require supplemental feeding and medication.

Police said the joeys would not survive in the wild and should not be released.

Those with the koalas have been told to hand them in at a police station or call the RSPCA.
