Best Answer

Thorny devils do not raise their babies. The female thorny devil digs a burrow in the sand, and deposits the eggs there. Then she leaves them to hatch on their own, a process which can take many months. When the young thorny devil hatch, they are able to care for themselves, and start eating ants immediately.

They don't.

Female thorny devils lay between 3 and 10 eggs in a burrow with a chamber. This burrow may be about 30 cm below the surface. After laying the eggs, the female backfills the burrow, leaving a chamber filled with air. She then leaves the eggs.

The eggs incubate for anywhere between 3 and 6 months, depending on the outside temperature (they hatch sooner in hot weather). Once the baby thorny devils hatch, they are able to start eating ants almost immediately.
