Abstract

The Damaraland mole-rat (Fukomys damarensis) is a subterranean, hypoxia-tolerant, long-lived rodent endemic to southern and central Africa that is increasingly being used in laboratory research.

Here, we provide a brief overview of this species and discuss its captive housing and husbandry requirements for managed care and good health.
