Central Europe is the habitat of the Forest, Garden and Edible Dormouse as well as the Common Dormouse. Dormice are mainly found in broadleaf and mixed woodland that is safe from flooding, as well as in wild gardens and meadows interspersed with fruit trees. They inhabit lowland areas as well as the central highlands. The continued existence of domestic Dormice is now under serious threat. The far-reaching destruction of what were formerly widely distributed, natural and open woodlands with their relatively high proportion of fallen trees has deprived these animals of their ideal habitat. Their disappearance leads to a severe ecological imbalance. Dormice are excellent climbers and tend to be most active at dawn and dusk and during the night. Depending on type and habitat, Dormice can hibernate for up to seven months of the year.
