Habitat. Primarily lowland tropical forests, sometimes montane wet tropical forests, and disturbed habitat (e. g. logged forests), preferring drier parts of forests, at elevations of 300 - 3100 m. The Indomalayan Long-tailed Giant Rat seems to be found at higher elevations on Borneo (3100 m) than in Malaysia (1400 m), and it isapparently found at a different elevation than the Sundaic Mountain Long-tailed Giant Rat (L. cthatus).

Movements, Home range and Social organization. Indomalayan Long-tailed Giant Rats are known to traverse trees to forage. Females and males or females and juveniles are known to stay in the same nests. When moving around at night, paths (determined by radio-tracking data) are relatively straight, and movement averages 32 m / ten minutes, covering areas of 2083 - 9829 m ®. Paths were mostlikely determined by location of resources rather than by sex or habitat type (logged vs. unlogged forest).
