That's why the two mouse archers (archer mice?) have different tails:
dormice have bushier tails and only one of them is a dormouse.

Lots of #animals hibernate. #Hedgehogs hunker down, #dormice curl up in a ball, and #bats take to their roosts. #Hibernation occurs when animals enter a state of almost total inactivity during the winter months.

Drizzly start to the day, but had cleared by the time I got into the woods
And although damp and a bit chilly, still really nice being out in the woods again, checking nest boxes
Found several Wood Mice and a couple of Yellow Neck Mice
But more importantly thirteen Common Dormice all good weights

No the seasons are being destroyed by global warming. Roses blooming in November.If our winter is not cold enough animals such as dormice do not hibernate properly & die. It needs the cold for hibernation to work. We need it too as a time of rest sitting by the fire & not working out in the garden!

how can your country fail hedgehogs and dormice? Did this generation not read Beatrix Potter (Mrs. Tiggywinkle) and Lewis Carol (Alice had tea, more or less, with the dormouse). SMH, I thought Labour was supposed to be at least kind of the good guy.

This suggests that it has been a strong breeding year for dormice in Dorset. Our warm summer may have encouraged second broods or early breeding from this year's young.

What a late-season dormouse boom at Powerstock Common nature reserve! 🙌Over the last two months our ecology team found almost 50 dormice in our monitoring boxes across the site, including a couple of late-season breeding females.

So when cleaning the dormice enclosure they are up to 18 of the little buggers with 2 girls pregnant. . At home they have a 2 foot by 4 foot enclosure so I am not concerned about crowd control, but they are in a travel enclosure here while I work, looks like I need to buy the boys their own pad.

Happened rather late in this very mild autumn we’re having in England. There are roses blooming, the odd butterfly & bee still around. Worryingly I learned from Countryfile that if it’s too warn hibernating dormice wake up expending energy & causing their demise. So I hope we have a cold winter.

With what we know of AI in the law, it will probably cite fabricated precedents and statutes, assert that dormice are a subspecies of newt, and phrase everything in the cheesiest American “English”
