Now before things got out of hand, I'd like to quote Starshine again.

Short answer:
Whatever you want it to be for a story.
There's no set rules for yukkuri. Authors conjured rules on their own and I'm only telling my idea of how they work.
Updated
I just read this story. Rather interesting idea, the effect of a super sweet substance used as a pesticide against yukkuris.

How do yukkuri manage to pee so much in any heightened state of emotion without having to constantly having to rehydrate?
I would expect them to pee their paste dry without a constant , nearby source of water.
The laws of physics bend to supply yukkuris with an infinite source of fear-pee.
How long can a ko hide in its mother's mouth before they start to be digested? Is size/maturity a factor?

Like a lot of things yukkuri, there are no hard and fast rules regarding putting things in a yukkuri's mouth.
But I would say that in general the ko would be perfectly safe staying in its parent's mouth indefinitely as long as other outside factors are not applied, such as the mother's state of hunger/forgetting that their children are in their mouths (a common scenario)/exhaustion from keeping the inside of their mouth in place/injuries care of our favorite neighborhood abyuser.
A related "rule" that is used by many authors is that a yukkuri does not actually eat whatever is placed inside their mouths unless they declare that they are "doing munch-munch", that is their intent of eating. Only thus with whatever object (food/organic substance/smaller creatures/koyukkuri) inserted into their mouths be consumed. This is also flexible, as some abyuser can initiate the digestion process by mechanically stimulating the "jaw" of the yukkuri to make eating motions (can be grouped as one of the outside factors mentioned above).
(Note: This rule can be an explanation of sorts on how certain yukkuri can conceal and transport items in their mouths, such as youmu types and their swords, murasa and their anchors and ladles, for instance. Now how a youmu can pull out a knife that's longer than her body from her mouth or a murasa taking out a heavy weight that's way heavier than her is a different question altogether...)
(Also, this could be a reason on why a yukkuri giving a blowjob is relatively safe and possibly amazing, but that's going in a way different train of thought that is absolutely disgusting and arousing and I AM NOT GOING TO THINK ABOUT THIS ANY MORE.)

Another variation is that the yukkuri will start eating when it tasted something delicious, like sweets. They only managed to keep the children by sheer power of will (the tiny speck of willpower yukkuri have), but mostly by constant reminder of threat.
Also common scenario is saliva. Mouth is constantly kept moist with saliva, as is in the case of yukkuri. Problem is that water can weaken manju's skin. So usually when talking time limit, it's the time before the children got dissolved.
Inside the mouth is also dark and cramped, something yukkuri find unpleasant (human too). After a while, they would stop thinking the place as safe and asked to be let out.
What is the natural end of life like for a yukkuri? Most stories don't involve them reaching an old age.
My understanding was that they don't age or die of old age at all. They just live until something kills them. This can be anywhere from a few minutes to the longest I think I've seen being a few years.
They exist by magic(or something), they can be repaired with orange juice like magic, they can turn anything they eat into fresh paste, and as long as they can consistently find large amounts of food they generally just keep getting bigger. Since as far as I'm aware they've never been shown to "get old," as long as they're well taken care of and manage to avoid the tragic fate all yukkuri possess, theoretically they could live forever.
But yukkuri are fragile and Death goes out of its way to make their lives hell so good luck keeping one that long.
They did get old. Problem is like many mass produced animal, 99% of the time they never lived long enough to die like that.
Even human who have no natural predator almost always die from sickness (or traffic accident) before our system shut down from old age.
Seems like they just get weaker. But unlike in abuse, it came without the intense stress.
Average yukkuri's dream of easy life is
> being born and loved by their family
> have a food, home, family
> play a lot, eat a lot, sleep a lot
> grow up and starts a life of their own
> marry, have lots of children to share love
> be a nice parent and raise the children
> until finally end their life surrounded by their big family sending them away, so they know they're not alone and not unwanted
Well I dont think there's a lot out their about the whole yukkuri life cycle as most stories that feature it are based on abuse. From what I've read some pets do get old, they seem to just get weaker and slower, others age and become a dosu. They could potentially be biologically immortal like some simpler animals. Only dying from sickness or injury.
Quite a number of yukkuri stories do have yukkuri that dies of old age. Such occurrences are rare though, even in fiction, due to obvious reasons.
Guys what about mold? I'm talking in the forest living with a clan, what happens when a koyokkuri catch mold, more like is a standard sickness or more like a taboo like leprosy.
You known in the last case having a child with mold, will hurt your social standing in front of your comunity.
Do clans war with each other? Would doing things like using a marisa as refreshing slave instigate aggression or would be just a victimless crime of the forest.

Oddly enough, yukkuri clan interaction stories are very uncommon. Possibly due to the rarity of dosu types, and since most clans are formed around a dosu. And even without a dosu, clans (in this case, more like extended families, comprised of one big family with smaller satellite families revolving around them) do not seem to immediately resort to violence on first contact.
Rarely see them too. If the yukkuri go to war, it will quickly escalate to an all out war between clans.
Likewise, if pair of Dosu is involved, it will be like what could happen during cold war, Assured Mutual Destruction.

Surprisingly… yukkuri understand it faster than human that mold is a disease, and doesn't think it's caused by the yukkuri being personally uneasy.
Part of the bad reputation for leprosy is in the beginning, it's thought to happen to peoples who are forsaken by God; in addition to the disease's contagiousness.
The clan would then either quarantine, or kill them somewhere outside the clan's territory.
I don't think it hurts the family's social standing. After a while and if they don't show signs of being infected, then life will go on as usual.
I have seen a bunch of stories with Patchouli led clans, would the situation be different there?
There isn't really a cure to mold unless humans get involved so I imagine patchys would have them euthanized or quarantined. Similar to how some ants quarantine fungus infected members of the hive.
How does the concept of death stench work? What produces it and how can it be cleaned up?
I imagine death stench would be similar to the real world smell of death which is pretty hard to get out of things. Caused by bacteria breaking down the body and such.
