In arid regions, the eastern spiny mouse feeds on land snails.The entrance of its burrow is usually piled with crushed land snails of several genera. Also, the entrance may be plugged by thorny plants, perhaps to prevent intruders (e.g. snakes) from entering. This was observed in dense populations of this species near the Suwaymah and around

Ma'in. This is social animal living in large colonies. Gestation lasts for 3640 days, and the young (2 or 3, at most 5) are born mainly in the spring and summer months. It was found that the spiny mouse bred and produced young throughout the warm season of the year (late April to October). In early April, all the captured females were not pregnant, whereas by late April, 5 out of 7 captured females were pregnant. Neither pregnancies nor young were recorded during the period of December to March (Abu Dhayeh, 1988). In June, all the young captured were 2540 days old (estimation of age was based upon the color and the size of the animal in comparison with the captive animals). In August, 5 young ranging between 4060 days old were captured, while in October, 2 one month old specimens were captured from the study area. This may indicate that late pregnancies may take place in August.
