Description

Physical Description

Habitat

The White-footed Mouse is common in upland mature forests with fallen logs and snags , rocks, ledges, and brush piles. It also inhabits marshes, canebrakes , and brushy fence rows .

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 2,793 meters (0 to 9,163 feet).[1]

Ecology: Occupies a variety of habitats throughout its extensive range . In the eastern part of its range, it reaches highest densities in low to mid-elevation dry forests with shrubby understory and is also abundant in brushy fields . In contrast, in the southwestern U.S. it inhabits semi-desert vegetation.[2].

Biology

Diet

The White-footed Mouse eats seeds, nuts, grasses, fruits, and some insects. This species will commonly cache seeds and nuts in burrows and near nests .

Reproduction

Breeding occurs throughout the year. Females give birth 3 - 4 weeks after mating. The litter of (usually 4) young are born in a nest made of grass , leaves, and shredded bark . The nest is placed in or under a fallen log or under a rock or ledge. Nests also are sometimes placed in an abandoned squirrel or bird nest, in an old stump , or inside a house. The young are weaned in 3 - 4 weeks, and are sexually mature at about 2 months of age.

Behavior

Active throughout the year, primarily at night. Principal predators include owls, skunks, foxes, the Coyote, weasels, and snakes . The life span of a White-footed Mouse is usually less than 2 years in the wild, but in captivity the record is 8 years. White-footed Mice communicate with each other by foot-stamping, vocal squeaks, and scent. Females are territorial during breeding season .

Similar Species

The Cotton Mouse can be distinguished from the White-footed Mouse by the Cotton Mouse's darker fur, larger size, and noticeably large back feet. Habitat preferences also help distinguish between these two species.
