females make burrows in the ground in places with sparse steppic vegetation. The burrows are relatively deep 7-10.5 cm and 4-6 mm in diameter (Logunov, personal communication). Apparently males do not construct burrows. These observations were first made by Dmitri Logunov in Tuva. Subsequently we (Koponen and Marusik) witnessed this behaviour. It is worth mentioning that
