They are seasonal breeders, meaning they give birth at specific times of the year. The gestation period is around 45 days, and the young, called a joey, will stay in the mother's pouch for around 10 months.
During this time, the mother will carry the joey in her pouch, allowing it to grow and develop. Once the joey is weaned, it will begin to venture out of the pouch, but will still rely on its mother for protection and guidance for several months.
