Diet
Striped field mouse is a predominantly granivorous species with a diet primarily composed of seeds, grains and nuts. Their feeding habits also extend to various invertebrates, which they partake of when available.
Appearance
Striped field mouse is a small-sized rodent with a slender body covered by dense, soft fur. Its back is a uniform gray-brown shade, which lightens towards its underside, a clear distinction. This mammal has a long, semi-prehensile tail covered thinly by fur, which is nearly equal to the length of its body. Notably, it possesses large, rounded ears and dark, prominent eyes. No major differences exist between genders or age groups.
Behavior
Striped field mouse exhibits nocturnal patterns, energetically foraging for seeds, fruits, and invertebrates at night while hiding in burrows during the day. Although socially tolerant, these animals are notably agnostic, often marking territory with a musk-like scent. Their keen senses of hearing, smell, and touch aid in resource location and predator avoidance.
