About the Natal Multimammate Mouse

The Natal multimammate mouse is a small, widespread African rodent associated with grassland, savanna, woodland edges, cultivated areas and human-altered environments. It has soft brown to grey-brown upperparts, pale underparts and a relatively long tail. It is primarily nocturnal and feeds on seeds, grains, plant material and other available food, occasionally including insects. It is an important prey species for numerous African predators and can occur at high densities under favourable conditions.

How to identify the Natal Multimammate Mouse

Small, stocky brownish mouse with a relatively blunt head, rounded ears and a tail approximately as long as or slightly shorter than the body. Often difficult to distinguish from other Mastomys species without close examination.
