I love these little critters. They are all over my California property. I live in the Mojave desert and they come out every night after sunrise and hop all over my yard. I watch them all the time they’re so fun to watch. We have a Family of them out here and they come out every night, they’re very friendly

Ord’s Kangaroo Rats are quite sensitive to light pollution because they tend to do all of their activities at night. Even moonlight can suppress their food gathering because of their fear of predators. Even if they avoid predation, reduced foraging and food stores gathering because of overly bright nights can lead to winter die-offs through starvation or hypothermia.

I think I caught one in my house! I live in a rural spot just north of the coutts border. It's alive. I really hope someone sees this. I've got a call in to the fish and wildlife, but I'm not sure if that's the right people to called.

Yes, I would think they would be able to help you.
