: I remember reading something about fertilized eggs being held in sort of a "que" until the current joey is done nursing. Does anyone know if after the first joey has made its way to the teet can a second one join it a little later, or do twins and triplets incubate and travel to the teet together. my female just gave birth, but it feels like there may still be something in the pouch and it is kinda small -- could it be a late twin ??? or am I just having a little wishful thinking ?? any insights would be most welcomed.

I have had new joeys appear up to two weeks after I first noticed one in pocket. It has to do with mom having a split uteruses. They can gestate joeys at different time rates apparently.
