[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Wonderful Thanks got posting this I love al the small Australian mammals. I miss the older style docs like this-so thorough and beautifully presented. I'm in Sydney by the way. :-)

Very similar to kangaroos , so much diversity of life , remind me of mutual of Omaha wild kingdom oldies

[@MarchalisVan]

uh, I have the non desert version in my house in Tasmania. They run around the house at night here and there... not sure what to do.. they aren't eating our food, and I haven't noticed any mess, and they are too cute to kill for just being there... they ignore the humane trap.. I just don't know!! lol Any thoughts?

[@pestbrigade3152]

Marchalis Van are they an antichinus?

[@zombi6751]

i'd just leave them be if i were you. Or if you could catch them you could keep them as a pet. I have a pet hopping mouse and they're lovely honestly.

Get a 5 gallon drum and line it with olive oil. Put some food in the bottom and build a ramp out of a plank of wood or something. This works for mice and rats, I’m not sure about these guys though. These guys jump really well so might be able to escape. It’s humane and friendly :) you just get them out of the drum and free them outside. If you really want to be nice to them, a rub with a warm towel will help get the oil off them.

[@ions2]

nyxocosplay I’ve been doing some research on these guys as pets. Are they as easy to keep as my reading suggests? More or less like a regular rat with different diet and they’re nocturnal?

@@ions2 Mice 🐭are not R.A.TS 🐀

[@xenoidaltu601]

If they were bigger then they would be called Placental Kangaroos

[@bugisami]

One can imagine a modern documentary talking about mum and how she loves her babies and, with a bit of luck, one might hear a charitable word or two about dad. Overly sentimental SLOP is our current diet.

[@ions2]

Considering the males protect the young as well as the females, and science is objective, I doubt that’s true...

I heard tha hopping mouse does not drink water and if it drinks it will die is that true

[@hamsnub]

All animals need to drink

[@ions2]

All forms of life need water to survive. That’s why there’s life here on earth with liquid water and not on the moon.

[@HottSex06]

There is an animal called the Jerboa (they look strikingly similar to these guys) they can get all the water they need from the vegetation and insects they eat. In fact, in laboratory studies, jerboas have lived off of only dry seeds for up to three years. Being that it depends on its food to meet its need for water. It may never actually drink free water throughout its life.

أنه فأر صحراء على مايبدو 🤔

[@moonstar4121]

I guess the indigenous Australian Aborigines eat them 🤔

[@rosebudkeely8153]

Given they are nocturnal and so small and difficult to catch I imagine they didn't, or at least very rarely. It makes more sense to catch one bigger animal like a kangaroo or wallaby to share amongst a group than lots of small speedy mice.
