Echidna Puggle

A Puggle is the name for a baby Echidna or Platypus. The Echidna and Platypus are the only Australian marsupials that lay eggs and not live young. The Echidna lays an egg which is then incubated in the pouch, which is really more like a fold of skin over the abdomen area which is closed with contracting muscles.

The Echidna Puggle may only weigh about 3 grams (a tenth of an ounce) straight after hatching but can increase to 180 grams (6 ounces) after 60 days.

Bringing Up the Puggle

The baby Echidna lives in its mother's pouch for about seven weeks, feeding on the milk from the two milk patches in the pouch and growing very fast. When the Puggle's spines start to harden the mother Echidna transfers the Puggle to a nursery burrow. She returns every five to ten days to feed her Puggle. After about five months the mother stops going back and the young Echidna is by itself. The Echidna is unusual among the mammals in not appearing to instruct its young.
