Echidnas do not stay in the burrow for six to eight months. Baby echidnas are hatched directly in the mother's temporary pouch, and they are transferred to a burrow when the growth of their sharp spines produces discomfort in the pouch. This usually occurs between 2 and 3 months of age. The mother continues to nurture the young echidna in the burrow until it is weaned at around 6 months. Therefore, at most, it stays in the burrow for 4 months only.

The female echidna incubates the egg for around 10 days before it hatches. She then nurtures it in her temporary pouch for two to three months - until its spines force its eviction.
