Résumé :	Energy intake was studied for the first time in Cabrera voles (Microtus cabrerae Thomas, 1906). Experiments were carried out between June and September. Under a composite diet of carrots, apples, corn and sunflower seeds, average food consumption was 4.88 g dry mass/day, which was equivalent to 75.95 kJ/day (1.82 kJ/g/day). This corresponded to 11.7% of vole's body mass. Voles defecated around 0.36 g dry mass/day or 6.65 kJ/day (0.16 kJ/g/day). Digestibility values averaged 92.50% of dry matter and 91.15% of energy.
