But young dormice develop rapidly under their mother’s care before becoming increasingly independent. After about four weeks, young dormice are ready to be weaned, but they often stick close to mum for another few weeks while they learn the ropes.

Squeak! 😍 Summer is the season for young dormice 🐭 They're born tiny, pink, hairless and with their eyes closed, we call them "pinks". The dormice in this photo are a little more mature, you can tell because their soft golden coats have already started to develop.💛

Late summer fruit can be an important food source for #wildlife 🍎 If you have fruit trees, leaving a few #windfalls on the ground can help insects, birds and mammals. Just move any rotting fruit away from paths or seating areas, and leave a small amount in a quiet corner for wildlife to find.
