A study in Central African Republic—which could be referable to this species or to Eastern Rainforest Thicket Rat—recorded that females nipple-drag the young after birth for about 14 days, as recorded also for other members of genus. Gestation lasts 24 days. Litter size 1-3.

Nocturnal and arboreal. Western Rainforest Thicket Rats have been captured on the ground and at heights of up to 12 m. They make spherical nests of grass, lianas and other vegetation, wherein they spend the day, venturing out to feed at 21:45-22:00 h untl about 05:00 h, bouts of activity alternating with rest in nests.

In populations from Central African Republic (which could be of present species or ofEastern Rainforest Thicket Rats), nests were 30-50 m apart and contained only mothers with young, suggesting home range of 700-2000 m?.
