BreedingBreeding occurs throughout the year, females giving birth to litters of four to five pups, each weighing 6,5 gr. at birth. Gestation period is 37 days. Young attach to their mother’s nipples until 21 days old, and during this ‘nipple-clinging’ period they detach only occasionally. Detach permanently after day 32. Eyes open between 16 and 20 days, and young are completely weaned at the age of 38 days.
