This is one of the most common jirds inhabiting the dry and arid habitats of Jordan. It prefers sand areas and hammada (Atallah, 1978). According to Atallah (1977), Sundevall's jird does not form colonies.

It feeds on a variety of food items including desert plants, animal dung and insects (Qumsiyeh, 1996). This is a nocturnal species, but may also forage during the day. It was observed near camel feeding areas, and comes during daytime to feed on barely and other vegetable matters. Breeding occurs during the cooler months, but may breed all year round, producing up to three litters a year. Litter size is around 3 to 7 young. The burrow system is simple with a single entrance and one food chamber. Litter size varies between 2 and 7 (Yiğit
