The fawn hopping mouse is an Australian rodent with long hind legs for hopping. It shelters in a burrow by day and has been recorded in small family groups.
Its tail is longer than its body and ends in a tuft of dark hairs. The hind legs and feet are elongated. Coat color varies from pale pinkish fawn to grey among individuals, and the belly is white.
It lives in small family groups and shelters in burrows during the day. Recorded burrows have one to three entrances and can reach about a metre deep.
