|
||
The Northern Giant Pouched Rat eats mostly fruits, seeds, and tubers, which may be cached in a burrow. Coprophagy appears to pass gut microbes from motherto offspring to assist with digestion.

|
||
The Northern Giant Pouched Ratis typically solitary, with one individual occupying a burrow system, but multiple individuals have been reported in a single burrow. Based on counts of burrows, densities can be high in prime habitat; 45 burrows were found on a 5ha farm in Nigeria.

|
||
Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Northern Giant Pouched Rat can damage crops and orchards and is therefore often persecuted. It is also hunted for food over much of its distribution. Despite these pressures, it does not appear to have a contracted distribution or reduced population.
