Captive females attained sexual maturity at an age of 9-16 months and conceived for the first time when 10-25 months old. Adult females were polyoestrous but did not cycle while lactating or when isolated from males. The length of the cycle varied from 17 to 42 days (mean +/- s.d. 31.2 +/- 6.5 days; n = 43) and females experienced 3-7 sterile cycles before conceiving. Pregnancy lasted for 93-94 days (93.5 +/- 0.6 days; N = 4) and litter intervals varied from 296 to 500 days (385 +/- 60.4; n = 10). Litter size varied from 1 to 3 (1.5 +/- 0.66; n = 165) and the well-developed precocial young weighed 300-440 g (351 +/- 47.4 g; n = 19) at birth. Captive females reproduced throughout the year with most litters (78.7%; n = 165) being produced between August and March.
圈养雌性在9至16个月大时达到性成熟，首次受孕时年龄为10至25个月。成年雌性为多周期发情，但在哺乳期或与雄性隔离时不发情。发情周期长度为17至42天（平均±标准差为31.2±6.5天；n = 43），雌性在受孕前经历3至7个不育周期。妊娠期持续93至94天（93.5±0.6天；N = 4），产仔间隔为296至500天（385±60.4；n = 10）。每窝产仔数为1至3只（1.5±0.66；n = 165），发育良好的早成幼崽出生时体重为300至440克（351±47.4克；n = 19）。圈养雌性全年都可繁殖，大多数幼崽（78.7%；n = 165）在8月至次年3月出生。
