thanks Leo! I'm glad we have another hazel dormice fan in the house
These mice are so cute!! I hope they’re all doing ok out there in their environment! 🐭❤️
I have always thought of doormice as African and I guess southern Europe, but it makes sense that they can be found in Britain because of its inclusion in Alice in Wonderland
Aren’t they just so gorgeous! Sad to hear their decline though, us humans encroaching on all wildlife’s habitats 😡
Love them, one question though, if he sleeps for that long, what do they do for water? Take care!

that's a great question Bernard, thanks for asking! Well, when they're in torpor, dormice lower their metabolic rate to such an extent that their need for nutrients and water is massively reduced. So, they just have to get by on the reserves that they've built up in the summer! I hope that helps. Thanks again for engaging! :)
