Findings reveal that the nests of Oligoryzomys has an average length of 18 centimeters (cm), eight cm width and 10 cm height and were found at elevated sites on the border of small channels of Arroyo Perucho Verna, whose predominant vegetation consist of Equisetum giganteum and Cortaderia sp. The nests of H. brasiliensis were a few cm above water surface with a mean ellipsoid shape size of 22.5 cm length, 13 cm width and 18.7 cm height and were found in the areas of the tributaries of Río Gualeguaychú and in open areas abundant with Pontederia cordata, Echinodorus grandiflorus and Scirpus sp.
