When still attached to the teat, baby numbats (joeys) are not protected by anything. The mother numbat does not have a pouch, unlike other marsupials.
When the numbat joeys reach several months old, they are transferred to a burrow, until they are old enough to travel with their mother and learn how to feed themselves.
