Guess Mikee isn't up for laying eggs. Then, she'd have to carry the egg in a pouch for 21 days until it hatches, then carry the puggle around until it gets too big to carry... Yeah, being a mother echidna is hard work, and Mikee is too young for that type of responsibility.

And apparently, Jake didn't know what he was getting into when he found out that eggs were involved. Don't worry, Jake, echidnas lay only one egg at a time.
