Head-body 125-155 mm, tail 114-127 mm, ear 20-23 mm, hindfoot 22-25 mm; weight 49-76 g. Hinde’s Long-tailed Pouched Ratis medium-sized, with well-developed cheek pouches. Fur is soft and gray dorsally, shading to pure white ventrally. Chin, throat, and upper chest are white. Ears are relatively large. Tail is long and prehensile, with conspicuous white markings. Limbs are relatively short and white, with four digits on forefeet and five digits on hindfeet. Males are on average larger than females, with considerable overlap in measurements between sexes.

|
||
Coastal forests and woodlands below elevations of 400 m (but up to 1200 m in the Usambara Mountains), typically on sandy soils. Hinde’s Long-tailed Pouched Rat enters fallow fields and cassava plantations. Sandy soils might facilitate burrow excavation, in which it rests during the day and stores cached seeds and fruits. Another important factor appears to be a dense shrub layer, but reasons for that are not known.

|
||
Juveniles and reproductively active males and females appear throughout the year suggesting aseasonal breeding, but the proportion oflactating female Hinde’s Long-tailed Pouched Rats appears to increase during seasonal rains. A large proportion of males are scrotal throughout the year, but individuals enter reproductive condition at different times of the year. Gestation in captivity is 22-23 days, with average litter size of 2-8 young (1-5). Neonates have an average weight of 3-2 g and are pink. Lactation lasts for 5-6 weeks. Growth is rapid, with young reaching 43 g at c.4 weeks old. Longevity is 3—4 years. Equivalent parameters for wild populations are not known.
