Dormouse-tastic

by Meg on December 11, 2005

What is there to say about the Dormouse, the cutest animal in the world? First of all, the dormouse sleep three quarters of the year in a nest, which is instantly adorable. They weigh 15 to 30 grams, which is a totally portable Paris Hilton Pet™-sized, and they’re English, so you know when they talk, it’s absolutely charming.Mhd002sleepingdormice

Remember in the UK it is illegal to handle or in anway disturb dormice without a special permit.

I wonder if the word ‘dormouse’ references ‘dormant’.
