Best Answer

Female platypuses are around two years old before they reproduce. Platypuses are one of only two types of mammals to lay eggs. Fertilised platypus eggs stay in the mother's body for around 28 days. The egg is incubated by the mother curling around it and keeping it warm and dry in the chamber of the burrow for another 10 days.

Is a baby platypus called a puggle?

No. They are officially called a baby platypus, though some people use the term "puggle" instead.

Puggle is already used for a cross between a Pug and a Beagle. Please see the Related Question: answers.com/Q/What_is_a_young_baby_platypus_called

What is a platypus called when it is 17 weeks old?

From the time a platypus is hatched, it is called a platypus. It makes no difference whether the platypus is a day old, 17 weeks old or a year old. It is still a platypus. There is no official name for a young platypus. Despite what many websites report, a young platypus is not called a puggle.
