Little Native Mouse

The Little Native Mouse (Pseudomys delicatulus) is one of Australia’s smallest native rodents, found in grasslands, woodlands, and arid regions, including parts of Western Australia. Unlike invasive rodent species, these mice are an essential part of the ecosystem, helping with seed dispersal and soil health.

Appearance & Behaviour

• Tiny rodent, measuring around 6-8 cm in body length.
• Light brown to grey fur with a white underbelly.
• Large, round ears and a long, thin tail.
• Nocturnal and shy, preferring to stay hidden in dense vegetation or burrows.
• Feeds on seeds, insects, and plant material.

Are Little Native Mice a Problem?

Though they are not considered a pest, these mice may occasionally:

• Enter homes or sheds in search of food and shelter.
• Feed on stored grains or seeds in farms and gardens.
• Attract predators like snakes and birds of prey to residential areas.
