The mother cares for them up to 18 months or so.
Baby joeys are born about 2cm long. They have to get to the mother's pouch, so the mother licks a path from the birth canal to the pouch. Once there, the young joey attaches to a nipple, which swells in its mouth, securing it in place while it continues its development in the mother's pouch. The joey spends about 6-8 months in the mother's pouch being nursed. In the initial stages, the joey stays attached to the teat until it is ready to begin being independent. A mother kangaroo is capable of having more than one joey of different ages in the pouch at the same time, feeding on different types of milk.
The babies may hang with the mother in her den for a day or two after birth before setting out on their own. However, they receive no care from the mother and are, basically, on their own from birth.
The mother gives the dugong attentive care until the age of 2. I researched this on the internet and i hope this can be to some help for you.
7 to 10 months of age is when they leave.they leave it because of them getting more active and bigger.
