Eastern meadow voles have to eat frequently, and their active periods (every two to three hours) are associated with food digestion.
Meadow voles were the most common small mammals in oak savanna/tallgrass prairie dominated by northern pin oak (Quercus ellipsoidalis) and grasses including bluejoint reedgrass (Calamagrostis canadensis), prairie cordgrass (Sporobolus michauxianus), big bluestem, switchgrass, and Indian grass.
