The Red Forest Rat is diurnal and terrestrial, tending to be crepuscular. It lives in complex underground burrow systems, with numerous holes and often placed in root complexes. Burrows have sections with freshly clipped plant material and sleeping chambers with finer plant material. It is preyed on by snakes (boas and the genus Pseudoxyrhopus) and carnivores such as the Ring-tailed Vontsira (Galidia elegans) and the Fosa (Cryproproctaferox).

Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Red Forest Rat is strictly forest-dwelling and is known from widely separated localities across much of the eastern humid forests of Madagascar. It occurs in lowland formations that have been drastically reduced in their extent due to human pressure, and the mediumand long-term future in that habitat is uncertain.
