Reserva 1980 Accraampy fuscae Oct.30 The capturer at lambeo lower is bred. They make very high-pitched, baby-mouse-type squeals, too high for me to hear. They do this even when undisturbed. Three were caught between 4 and 6 p.m. Head of Boop Correntoso upon the bluff also also red. Have not seen signs of them anywhere else, even similar habitats nearby. The five captured today were all within one acre, all in steel traps in burrows. Similar sets caught 3 Notomys voleirance and 2 Abdon longi. Oct.31 During the night one Accraampy left its oil-can and entered the can of another one; both huddled together in the morning. Two new catches in the two newly-set steel traps; no catches in the old sets. One of the trapped ones had a truncated tail, and the tail of a recently captured one slipped off the terminal 1/3rd when picked up by the tail. Saw signs of Accraampy near the divide between Boop Correntoso and Boop Troful (holes, droppings, an ester-off lambeo shoot (in dense lambeo thicket). Tried the capturer on fresh lambeo shoots, and they ate them readily, but the other two together in a 5-gallon can; they are getting along well. They eat carrots, apples, lambeo twigs. Nov.2 One or more of the specimens were/are covered with lice.
