|

Most observations regarding breeding of Common Viscacha Rats are anecdotal from captured young individuals in the same trap in November at Valle de la Luna, San Juan Province; they suggest that breeding occurs at the end of winter (August) or beginning of spring (September).

|
||
Common Viscacha Rats are nocturnal and most active after sunset; activity decreases substantially after sunrise. They are good thermoregulators, enabling nocturnal activity. Ambient temperatures can drop below freezing at nightin the Monte Desert. Individuals use rock crevices for refuge and resting sites because they provide thermally stable environments (especially in summer).

|
||
The Common Viscacha Rat ranges over large areas and exhibits low spatial overlap; overlap among conspecificsis similar for both sexes. Average home ranges (males and females combined) are 12,370 m? however, male Common Viscacha Rats have larger home ranges than females. Common Viscacha Rats are solitary and do not share resting sites during the day.

|
||
Classified as a Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Updated information on status of populations of the Common Viscacha Rat is needed, and if current agricultural trends persist, it may qualify for a Near Threatened status. It was considered as Vulnerable in a regional IUCN assessment of threatened mammals in Argentina.
