Surreywt: Snoring Dormouse

www.surreywildlifetrust.org

Surrey Wildlife Trust Mammal Project Officer, Dave Williams, took this lovely footage of a dormouse in torpor. A special licence is needed to handle dormice. We are the original uploaders of the Snoring Dormouse video.

Dormice hibernate in the winter in nests that they make hidden away on the ground. In Britain the dormouse may spend up to 1/3 of its life in hibernation. Dormice usually enter hibernation at the time of the first frost, when nearly all food is gone. Dormice rely upon fat reserves gathered in the summer and autumn, and during hibernation they loose about a quarter of their body weight.

ya saw this on Red Eye last night, but sound is not working on this vid ?

The video with sound is fake. The sound was added to the video by someone else and posted on another Youtube page. Dormice do not sound like that. Our video is the original and the camera did not have sound. The dormouse was however making a high pitched 'peep'.

Hi we're Surrey Wildlife Trust, the original uploaders of 'Snoring Dormouse'. Thanks for all your comments about the video! Unfortunately our camera did not have a microphone and failed to capture his snoring, which actually sounded like a high pitched ‘peep’.

Please be aware that the snoring sound effects added to other copies of this video are fake and were not uploaded by Surrey Wildlife Trust. The above video is the original and has no sound :)
