How does an armadillo take care of its babies?

Answer 1

Before armadillos can start raising their young, they need to mate in order to produce a litter. Many species partake in some form of courtship ritual before they breed, but these rituals vary between species. For the majority of species, regardless of where they reside, breeding season occurs somewhere between April and June, during which females will mate with one or two males and males will mate with one to three females. The gestation period ranges from 60 days in large hairy armadillos (Chaetophractus villosus) to four months in giant armadillos (Priodontes maximus) and nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus). Some species can pause implantation of the embryo for a period of four months to two years, thus delaying pregnancy. Mating is the only part that males will have in the raising of their young.

Answer 2

Mother armadillos nurse their young until they are old enough to follow her around and learn how to forage for foods - insects, grubs, earth worms, etc.
