activity
Activity patterns. Lovat’s African Climbing Mouse appears to be nocturnal, and typically, few individuals are captured in suitable habitat. Based on reduced captures during the cooler months, it has been proposed that it hibernates. Unlike other species of Dendromus, it appears to be mostly terrestrial.
