Habitat
Breeding season is usually between March and May but in captivity they will breed all year round. The pouch usually accommodates 2 young. As the gestation period is 14 days, female bilbies can give birth up to 4 times a year, producing up to 8 young. The young are attached to one of eight teats in the pouch, detaching from the teats around 11 to 12 weeks and become weaned by 13 to 15 weeks. The young will then live in the burrow for another couple of weeks, being fed by the mother's night time food foraging activities. By 5 months the female bilbies become sexually mature and be able to begin breeding.
