It has been established experimentally that the fecundity of females of Xenopsylla gerbilli minax is wavy in its character from the beginning to end of their reproduction (peaks are replaced by falls). In spring and summer the egg laying proceeds on the 2nd--3rd day after the first bloodsucking of fleas and lasts to the end of their life. In autumn the first eggs develop on the 4th--6th day and do not develop at all at the end of the life. In winter months the egg production is somewhat slowed down but with the coming of spring become more intensive. Progeny obtained from one female during the experiment varies, depending on the conditions of the maintenance, from 20 to 130 individuals.
通过实验已经确定，长须山蚤雌性的繁殖力在其整个繁殖过程中呈波浪状（高峰被低谷所取代）。在春季和夏季，跳蚤首次吸血后的第2至3天开始产卵，并持续到其生命结束。在秋季，第一批卵在第4至6天发育，而在生命末期根本不发育。在冬季，产卵速度有所放缓，但随着春天的到来会变得更加密集。在实验中，从一只雌性获得的后代数量因饲养条件而异，从20只到130只不等。
