Maximum longevity: 6.8 years (captivity) Observations: Females over 3 years of age produce no litters but males over 5 years old can still be fertile. Although these animals reach sexual maturity in about one year, they do not become fully grown until about two years of age (Jones et al. 2001). In the wild, these animals do not typically live more than 3 years. One animal lived 6.8 years in captivity (Richard Weigl 2005).
