The mating season lasts from April to June. After a gestation period of 20-30 days, one young is born, which remains in the nesting bag for six to seven months, and even after that, it does not leave it for another three to four months. The young are weaned around 15 months. After leaving the pouch, the cub clings to its mother until it is covered in fur. Full independence usually begins at 18 months of age.
