It is about the same size as the fat mouse, and is so called because of an accumulation of fat under the skin, regarded as a delicacy in many parts of Africa.

Colouring: Dull orange-buff on the upper parts. White front feet and belly. The tail is the same colour as the upper parts.
Breeding: The young are born in the warmer, wetter months, with an average of 3 young per litter.
