No not the (common, usually shrub dwelling) dormouse,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazel_Dormouse - Which is what I would
recognise as a Dormouse. The big give away is the furry tails, house
and field mice have bald tails, like rats.


Note it is the only native pritish species, and is not a house dqweller.

but its cousin the garden dormouse (Lérot) which is not protected.

And is not found in the UK.


Hey that's quite a cute looking mouse but I still wouldn't want it
wandering freely around the house.

Also the 'fat dormice' occasionaly.

which again is not native, and only found in a small area of teh home
counties.

Fortunately no grey squirrels here.

Looks like you don't need 'em with glis glis about. B-)
