The common vole likes humidity, burrows and lives alone or in groups. Caves are mostly distributed in cave groups. The tunnel is shallow, only 21 ~ 31cm from the ground, but there are many branches and blind ends. There are 5 ~ 11 holes in each cave group. In winter, common voles dig tunnels under the snow to feed and build nests under the snow. The nest under the snow is semicircular, with a diameter of 11 ~ 15 cm. This kind of nest is exposed to the ground after the snow cover melts. There are 26 ~ 31 ground nests /km in the piedmont of Baluke Mountain on the left bank of Emin River, the main habitat of common voles. Camp day and night activities lifestyle.
Microvoles mainly feed on the green parts of Gramineae and Leguminosae, and store hay in caves in winter.
They breed 3-4 times a year, and the number of pregnant mice is 2-8, with an average of 4.8. Young rats reached maturity that year and participated in reproduction.
There is a folk saying: "Eat a mouse as three chickens", which describes that voles are richer in nutritional value than chicken. Autumn rice harvest is the biggest season for voles to grow in rice fields. Catching voles is beneficial to reduce rodent damage and avoid unnecessary losses of grain. Local farmers in mountainous areas of Xincheng, Luzhai, Xiangzhou and other counties used their spare time to catch voles in the fields and sell them in Liuzhou farmers' market. Recently, more than 1,111 voles were sold in the market one day, and at most, more than 2,111 voles were sold.
