Sure. And as unbelievable as it sounds they can even be storing sperm from two males and select which one to use. But this is parietalis that does that. I don't know about any others. I know that northwesterns can mate once and have a litter. Then a year or two later pop out a few surprise babies even if she has had no further male contact. The secondary litter is usually small though. Say she has 7 babies the first time. The next time might only be 1-3.
