He is adorable. These little scurrying creatures are hard to capture close up as they tend to run away so nice job.

it wasn't a zoo. it's a nature reserve, and unlike zoo staff, the staff at the BWC actually care about the animals

well, i say cage, it was a large plastic container with parts of it's natural habitat inside with it.
don't worry, it had plenty of room.

The natural area of a hazel dormouse is several acres. :'(

the British Wildlife Center took all measures to make sure that this tiny little thing was more than comfortable in it's current location.
