Active yearlong, intermittently day and night. Especially active after rain, probably in response to increased activity of prey, and easier digging. May move into chaparral, or other dry habitats, when conditions are moist. Home range consists of a tunnel system. No data found on home range size for this species.
Moles are highly territorial, defending and patrolling the burrow system.
This species probably is solitary, except when mating or caring for young. The single yearly litter ranges from 2-5, with an average of 4 young. Lactation lasts from 30-35 days. Young leave the nest in June. Predators include owls.
