Best Answer

The platypus spends 28 days as an egg incubating within its mother, until the egg is laid. This is the first stage.

The egg is incubated by the mother curling around it and keeping it warm and dry in the chamber of the burrow for another 10 days. Once it is hatched, it spends several more months with its mother until it is weaned. The young platypus suckles milk from the mother, as all mammals do. It reaches reproductive maturity at around age 2, and may live to around 9-11 years.
