Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms I have a dormouse in my tool shed

Cute little bugger. I talk to him (or her) and tell it that I don't mean any harm and it is quite welcome as long as it doesn't eat anything valuable. It seems to be using a wicker basket that is hanging from a nail as a nest. It has a arrived at the point that it doesn't try to escape and just sits there listening to me. Obviously alert but not afraid. Obviously I will now have to leave the basket untouched, at least whilst it is obviously in residence.

A couple of years back there was another that was using a cardboard box with some tissues in it as a nest but one day I found a lot of blood and later the lifeless body under the Morgan. It may have been injured by a fox.

We have a couple of hazelnut trees so it has a source of food for the winter.
