Records of 82 animals from 1985 to 2013 were reviewed for this study. The animals were kept successfully in small family groups with a single adult male, multiple adult females, and their offspring. Sexual maturity was noted at approximately 2 years of age and gestation length ranged from 52 to 55 days. Animals were fed a diet including a complete commercial pelleted feed, mixed greens, carrot or yam, mixed hard nuts, and locally sourced browse. Medical conditions requiring treatment in neonates were often fatal whereas most medical conditions in adults were survivable. The most common cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates was maternal neglect or trauma (42%, 5\/12 antemortem problems; cause of death in 32%, 8\/25). The most significant problems in adults were cryptococcal pneumonia and trauma.<jats:italic>Cryptococcus<\/jats:italic>sp. was the cause of death in 11 cases (34%, 11\/32) and significant comorbidity in an additional three cases. Treatment with antifungal medications was attempted but was unsuccessful in four cases. Many cases of trauma were treated successfully with conservative management or limited intervention. In four cases, treatment was complicated by extensive self\u2010mutilation after surgical repair of traumatic lesions, which resulted in death or euthanasia. Lymphoplasmacytic thyroiditis was a common postmortem finding in adults (95%, 21\/22 for which the thyroid gland was examined histologically). It is unclear if thyroiditis resulted in functional hypothyroidism so the significance of this finding is undetermined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/zoo.21491","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,20]],"date-time":"2019-05-20T08:37:14Z","timestamp":1558341434000},"page":"360-370","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Husbandry, morbidity, and mortality of slender\u2010tailed cloud rats (<i>Phleomys pallidus<\/i>)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7444-3187","authenticated-orcid":false,"suffix":"IV","given":"John M.","family":"Sykes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wildlife Conservation Society Zoological Health Program Bronx New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wildlife Conservation Society Department of Mammology Bronx New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Denise","family":"McAloose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wildlife Conservation Society Zoological Health Program Bronx New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/030098589603300502"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-1-4160-6621-7.00028-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1638\/2012-0115R1.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03401283"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1095\/biolreprod.106.057125"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2008.05.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11357-008-9053-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_9_1","first-page":"pp. 777","volume-title":"Current techniques in small animal surgery","author":"Hoyt Jr R.
