Coppery Ring-tailed Possums have a single young, which apparently can be produced in most months of the year suggesting a continuous breeding strategy. Only limited parental investment and den sharing by males have been observed, suggesting that the mating system is facultative polygamy.

Coppery Ring-tailed Possums are nocturnal, but they have been observed during the day. After emergence from the den, they mostly rest, which has been proposed to provide indirect evidence of coprophagy before leaving the den. During the night, they spend most of their time alone but have occasionally been observed feeding in male-female pairs. About 25-30% of their time is spent eating, 18% spent walking, and 52-57% spent resting. Their behavior appears to be influenced by larger possums, such as the Mountain Cuscus (Phalanger carmelitae), because when this species was observed to enter a tree where Coppery Ring-tailed Possums were feeding, they vacated the tree and then returned and resumed eating when the Mountain Cuscus left. A female Mountain Cuscus has also been observed growling at a male Coppery Ring-tailed Possum. Female Coppery Ring-tailed Possums typically emerge from the sleeping den at 19:03 h, and males emerge shortly thereafter at 19:26 h. Both sexes return to the den at an average time of 05:23 h.

Home ranges of Coppery Ringtailed Possums are estimated at 1-4-2-2 ha, overlapping by 0-3 ha. When not active, they rest in tree hollows and burrows of the Ground Cuscus (Phalanger gymnotis) and De Vis’s Mallomys (Mallomys aroaensis). One study found that most dens were used only once during the study period but others were used 6-10 times. Predators include Boelen’s python (
