Great photo! They are amazing little animals. I had the privilege of catching them along with Desert Kangaroo Rats and other Heteromyids in the wild in the Mojave Desert during my Mammalogy class.
 
Hello gentle lemur,
du you have a picture of their former enclosure?

Sorry I missed this question when you posted it. I don't have a shot of the enclosure, but I saw it today as it happens. It now holds kowari. It is about 1.5 metres long, 1.2 m high and 0.9 m wide. It had a layer of sand and scattered rocks - I can't remember if the kangaroo rats had a nest box or not. Hope this helps.

Alan
