I have kept Glis glis in the past and have had a total of 4 males one lived 9 years, two lived 11 years and the final one lived for 13 years. All were adult when I obtained them. They were fed mainly on apples with the occasional orange. Sometimes I gave them sunflower seeds. In season they were given acorns and hazel nuts together with blackberries. I started off giving water and found that they never drunk from an open dish or from a rodent water bottle so never gave water at all after a few months. They were kept indoors at room temperature in a semi-centrally heated house and did seem to sleep a lot in winter but woke up every few weeks to have a feed and then go back into the nest box to sleep for another few weeks. I have seen several references to longevity which do not seem to be anywhere near as long as the specimens I kept. The first two were obtained from the pest control department of the local council near to Tring in southern England where they are found wild the second two were given to me by a friend who had purchased them in a pet shop but I believe were obtained from a similar source i.e. pest control capture. I hope this information is of use.

Hi - I am writing a paper on the captive diet of G Murinus, collating my evidence to send to the American Zoo Association. I need some information of their wild diet with regards to its animal/insect protein content.
I would be very grateful of any help.

I am a former biology and science education professor who started an educational photo library years ago while working on National Science Foundation and NASA projects. It has grown to include images from over 700 scientists, physicians, and natural history photographers worldwide and we work on thousands of educational publications annually. I am always interested in collaborating with others who have good photo collections, especially specialized ones. If you and any colleagues are interested, please see www.visualsunlimited.com for details. Thanks!

Yesterday I have sent out a queustionnaire to all recipients of "Dormouse Talk". I would appreciate it, if you could spare a few minutes to complete that form and return it to me as soon as possible!
(Hitherto I have only received 6 answers; - there should be over 150!!!!)
If you did not receive the questionnaire or accidentally deleted it, please contact me and I will send it again. Your (anonymous) data will be used for statistical evaluation of the usage of the Dormouse Hollow which I would like to present at the next Dormouse Conference in Hungary.
Thank you,
Werner (Editor of Dormouse Hollow)

The next International Mammalogical Congress will be held in Japan (probably in Sapporo). If you are interested in the preparation process of the congress, please contact MAMMAL2005@hokkaido-ies.go.jp.
It is a great pleasure to inform you that the Congress Committee for MAMMAL2005 (the 9th International Mammalogical Congress; formerly the International Theriological Congress:ITC) has been launched. The Congress Committee will periodically inform you about the preparation of MAMMAL2005 through E-mail and the web page (www.hokkaido-ies.go.jp/mammal2005/), which is now under construction.
Though we are now managing E-mail addresses based on members lists of the 7th, 8th ITC and several mammalogist organizations, we would like to renew the list of addresses for MAMMAL2005 under your permission. Please reply to us (MAMMAL2005@hokkaido-ies.go.jp) to get the periodical information about MAMMAL2005. If you have a colleague who is interested in MAMMAL2005, please recommend him/her to contact us (MAMMAL2005@hokkaido-ies.go.jp).
