Only the female cares for the young. They nurse from her exclusively until they are 6-8 weeks old. At that time they follow the mother when she forages for food and are introduced to solid foods. They continue to nurse to a lesser extent until they are completely weaned by 16 weeks of age. They will remain with the mother until they are 6-12 months old.
