A female Gnome is pregnant for 12 months. Gnomes are born in sets of twins, two girls, two boys, or a girl and a boy. Children are breast fed for several years after birth. Gnome children wet the bed until they are 12 years old. Gnome girls are raised by their mothers and gnome boys are mostly raised by their fathers. Parents still spend time with the opposite sexed child but they don't teach them much about gnome living. At the age of 13 the gnomes are taught the things every male/female gnome should know. Male gnomes teach their son gnomes about knowledge of mushrooms and herbs, how to increase running speed, methods of escape by using mole tunnels rabbit tunnels and other ways, whistling, woodworking and painting, and many other tasks a gnome needs to know to do his everyday tasks. Young females are taught the "homely arts" such as cooking, spinning, knitting, identifying animals of prey. Once a gnome is and adult the adult male gnome weighs 300 grams, and the adult female weighs 250-275 grams. They are about 15 cm high. Gnomes at 275 are in the prime of life, with their life-span being around 400 years old. An adult gnome is 7 times as stong as man.
