The males die after their first breeding season, and the species holds the world record for being the world's smallest semelparous mammal.
They grow relatively slowly compared with other marsupials of their size, opening their eyes between weeks 18 and 20, and first developing fur between weeks 20 and 22. They are fully furred by around 160 days, at which point they first begin to poke their head out of the pouch.
