Platypuses dig a burrow in the bank of a freshwater creek or burrow, above the waterline, in order to remain dry. During breeding season, the mother platypus prepares a chamber at the end of a burrow especially for the purpose of protecting the eggs and the young. Whenever she leaves the burrow, the mother platypus makes several thin plugs made of soil along the length of burrow; this helps to protect the young from predators which would enter the burrow during the mother's absence. When she returns, she pushes past these plugs, thereby forcing water from her fur and helping to keep the chamber dry.
Echidnas do not stay in the burrow for six to eight months. Baby echidnas are hatched directly in the mother's temporary pouch, and they are transferred to a burrow when the growth of their sharp spines produces discomfort in the pouch. This usually occurs between 2 and 3 months of age. The mother continues to nurture the young echidna in the burrow until it is weaned at around 6 months. Therefore, at most, it stays in the burrow for 4 months only.
