Its long tail aids in balance and propulsion during jumps, while its hind legs are well-developed for powerful leaps. Though nocturnal by nature, the Jumping Mouse is occasionally active during the day, foraging for seeds, insects, and other small food sources.

Additionally, the Jumping Mouse has specific habitat and dietary requirements that may be challenging to replicate in captivity. While some individuals may attempt to keep Jumping Mice as pets, successful domestication on a large scale is unlikely.
