|
||
During the breeding season, Milne-Edwards’s Tufted-tail Rats occupy arboreal nests or ground burrows. Nests are constructed with leaves and small branches or in tree holes located 2-6 m off the ground. In captivity, gestation is 24 days, and some females, which have three pairs of mammae, can have four litters a year; maximum litter size is four young.

|
||
Milne-Edwards’s Tufted-tail Rat is nocturnal and scansorial. It occupies ground burrows and readily moves in woody vegetation, including vertical tree trunks and moderate to thin horizontal branches. It is preyed on by barn owls (7yto alba) and Fosas (Cryptoprocta ferox).

Milne-Edwards’s Tufted-tail Rat occurs in low density, but recent work, perhaps with different baits and trap types used by earlier researchers, has found moderate densities that can vary considerably by season.

|

Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Milne-Edwards’s Tufted-tail Rat is forest-dwelling and is known from numerous localities in the western one-half of Madagascar and in the north-east. These habitats are exposed to extensive human pressure, and its mediumand long-term future is uncertain.
