How often do bandicoots have babies?

Bandicoots can have babies multiple times a year, typically 2-3 litters in a year.

Here's why:

* Short gestation period: Their gestation period is short, usually around 12-14 days.

* Fast maturity: Baby bandicoots, called joeys, develop quickly and become independent within a few months.

This rapid reproduction cycle helps ensure the survival of bandicoots in the wild, even with potential threats from predators or environmental changes.
