Facts
- metabolic rate 2/3 of a mouse of the same size during starvation, metabolic rate can be reduced to 0.25; body temp = ambient temp; switches from a typical poikilothermic pattern to a homeothermic mode at 28 C. only 1 female and 1-3 males reproduce in a colony; queen creates space between vertebrae for space of litters; colonies 20-300 individuals, average 75; eats tubers such that they can regenerate; can digest celloluse with microflora (Ref: Wiki)
