This depends entirely on the species. The term "Marsupial mouse" covers a range of small, carnivorous marsupials in Australia, including the phascogale, dunnart, ningaui, planigale and antechinus, just to name a few. They live in a range of habitats from the dry, semi-arid and arid areas of Australia, and grasslands, to the forests of Papua New Guinea. Marsupial mice of different species dig long burrows in the sand to hide from predators and keep cool in the desert heat, or they occupy hollow logs and rock cavities in forests and bushland.
