This would depend on whether the particular insectivore in question was a marsupial or not. Mountain pygmy possums, for example, are marsupials and insectivores, and they carry their young in a pouch. The only exception to this is the numbat, an Australian insectivore and a marsupial which does not have a pouch.

Hedgehogs, on the other hand, are an example of placental mammals which are insectivores, but do not belong to the marsupial family; therefore, they do not have a pouch.
