of the diet. As in all other pocket gophers, the burrow system is a series of shallow feeding tunnels radiating spoke-like from a deeper, central network that contains one or more nest chambers and several smaller chambersfor storage of food or fecal pellets. In a study of 16 excavated burrow systems, tunnels were located 8-91 cm beneath the surface, and diameter of tunnels were 5-13 cm. Because soils occupied by the Camas Pocket Gopher can become exceptionally hard when dry, it digs primarily with its large, procumbent incisors rather than its forefeet and claws. Individuals forage on the surface 1-2 m from burrow entrances; during these surface forays, they use incisors to cut 5-7 cm sections of food plants, which are placed in their cheek pouches and returned to burrows. These cuttings are either consumed immediately or placed in storage chambers within the burrow system.

|
||
The Camas Pocket Gopher breeds from late March to early July, has gestation of c.18 days, and has 3-5 young/litter. Extreme litter sizes of 1-9 young have been reported. Females have one litter per year, and young are weaned at c.6 weeks of age. It is thought that sexual maturity is not attained until the breeding season following birth.

|

The Camas Pocket Gopheris solitary and aggressively territorial. Because it rarely leaves its burrow system, its home range is defined by size and extent of its burrow system. Density estimates are 10-32 ind/ha.
