They sleep in burrows lined with animal hair (especially camel hair), shredded plants and plant wool. They often groom themselves and take sand baths to stay clean. They are very good diggers and very rarely need to drink water, as they get enough water from their diet.
Females usually breed only once a year, but males may breed with many different females every year. Pups are born blind, deaf, with a short tail and no fur. Their limbs are also the same length at birth. 
They learn to walk on all fours at the age of 1 month, open their eyes at the age of 1 month and 1 week, wean at the age of 1 month and 2 weeks and transition to hopping on their hind legs at the age of 1 month, 2 weeks and 3 days.
They become fully independent from their mother at the age of 2 months.
