|
||
The Common Fat Mouse is terrestrial and nocturnal. Individuals rest in burrows during the day. A single burrow was ¢.30 cm deep with four entrances, three of which were plugged with soil. Individuals accumulate copious amounts of subcutaneous fat during the wet season, becoming torpid for variable duration during the dry season. Individuals achieve high body weights during the rainy season, becoming significantly lighter during the dry season. Activity is reduced but not eliminated during the dry season.
