 * Review Symbol confirmed.svg Earwig is clear. No copy vios or close paraphrasing. New enough, long enough, 5X expansion verified.  Hook is neutral and supported by on line source.  QPQ confirmed.  GTG.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:15, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Clarifying. Thinking about this hook.  One individual can have three litters of 3 to 10 babies in a year per the source.  So "offspring" would include them.  But there is an argument that they (some offspring) too could reproduce, and that the number would be larger.  Offspring can be more broadly defined.  I don't think that affects the validity of the hook, but I have seen hooks criticized for less.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 16:49, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
