– Food is mostly, gathered at night, in summer and autumn and during the afternoon and early evening in winter. The diet consists almost solely of greenery – grass and sedge stems, supplemented by seeds and moss spore cases.

– The Broad-toothed Rat lives in a complex of runways through the dense vegetation of its wet grass, sedge or heath environment. This relatively warm under-snow space enables it to be active throughout winter.

– The species is also recorded in buttongrass sedgeland up to 1000 metres in western Tasmania.
