Mus indutus is a small mouse recorded in dry savanna in southern Africa. Some records have been difficult to distinguish from those of a close relative, so parts of its distribution remain uncertain.
The assessment describes it as a very small mouse. It also notes past confusion with the close relative M. minutoides, so identification by appearance alone requires care.
It is nocturnal and uses cover such as leaf litter, fallen logs, or shallow burrows. Seeds, fruit, termites, and small beetles are reported as foods.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
