There is evidence in the books that vermin are psychologically and biologically very slightly closer to their RealLife animalian counterparts than the woodlanders. Thus, I posit that their reproductive systems are also closer, meaning the females tend to produce large litters, unlike the woodlanders who usually seem to have only one or two at a time (barring a few throwbacks, which would explain Rosie and Tarquin producing twelve kids in one year, or Log-a-Log Furmo's eight). Since they require more meat in their diets than the herbivorous/piscetarian woodlanders, the laws of trophic energy transfer conspire with their higher birth rate to mean that the country could never support them if they all survived to breed. Thus, they become highly aggressive and competitive, and usually keep their population growth down by battling amongst themselves. Every so often they build up to levels high enough to form a horde, which then gets wiped out by the woodlanders, leaving only those whose genes have something to offer in the way of skill or luck and ensuring that the next generation get the good genetic material. Veil was the only vermin infant whose birth was actually mentioned and he was an only child, but it's not unusual for small or frail mother animals, particularly first-time mothers, to produce one big healthy cub rather than a litter which are likely to be sickly and difficult to care for.

** WordofGod says this is true.

[[WMG: Martin is the [[{{Homestuck}} Lord of Hope]].]]

If Bryony fit the patterns of the other heroes' ages, she would have been about twelve or thirteen when she got him. Since at that age most people don't know how to properly raise babies of their own species, never mind one which could eat them, it's no wonder he turned out warped. Mattimeo was born less than four seasons after his thirteen-year-old parents married, and even with a mouse pregnancy length of three weeks that's a bit young; not only was he spoilt rotten by the beginning of his book, he was saddled with that name.

[[WMG: Martin is a Time Lord.]]
The various characters who carry spiritual connections to Martin are his reincarnations, The Warrior is his Time Lord name, and the sword is his TARDIS.

** I think the original poster means, it's a "Hobbit" kind of writing. In the original TheHobbit, the Gollum scene was retconned to be Bilbo retelling the scene to make himself look better. (Because Tolkien realized when writing LordOfTheRings it contradicted Gollum's character) The original poster is trying to say that, the books are from [[UnreliableNarrator Martin's]] point of view. Though I don't know if s/he is actually being serious or not.

** Adding to this, take into account that Brian Jacques grew up during the period of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_Kingdom war-related rationing in the UK]]; food was in very short supply when he was a kid, particularly sweets and fruit (and what are the Redwallers' favourite foods?) A reliable, healthy, and tasty food supply probably really was very important to him, and thus to the characters he created.

* Redwall takes place in the same universe as ''Webcomic/{{Jack}}''?

In the far far past, Dragons, hobbits, dwarves, elves... etc... lived on the Earth, then called Middle-Earth. But the world evolved. The world modernized into a parallel world to ours, where the fantasy creatures still existed but were hidden from the non-magical beings, jump about 2000 years later, a cataclysm caused all the humans and fantasy creatures but one to die out, aside from that one person, all that was left were the animals. The very last human left was the wizard Radagast the Brown used the most powerful magic to stay young for millenniums. He cast one last spell on the world's woodland creatures to start a new way of life before he passed on.
