Basic Information
Dietary Needs and Habits
Greater grasshopper mice are ruthless desert hunters, feeding on all kinds of creatures, but specializing in venomous insects and reptiles, such as gila monsters, giant scorpions, and large snakes.
Biological Cycle
Although technically an aberration, the species has stabilized to almost being a natural animal. Greater Grasshopper Mice have litters of 3-4 pups, each born helpless. They are ambulatory within a couple hours, and develop teeth and claws over the course of about a week. They take several years to grow into their adult size, and juveniles are often mistaken for adult grasshopper mice of the ordinary kind.
