    Abstract

    Captive kultarrs (Antechinomys laniger) were bred from June to February. Their gestation period was longer than 12 days, as suggested by previous research. Pouches were observed to determine whether births occurred. Individuals were capable of producing offspring in their second and third year of life, which has been suspected previously, but never demonstrated in other published studies.
