Baby Tasmanian devils, known as joeys, stay in the mother's pouch for about 4 months, or 16 weeks. After this, they are transferred to a burrow or den for another four months. They will stay here for around 10 months, by which time they are old enough to leave their mother. Altogether, they stay with the mother until they about a year and a half old.
