Has any one kept these??
I've found a little info on them on "Simons rodents" but If any one has first hand experience in keeping these any info you have will be great..

Deano.......

Do you mean african pygmy dormice?

Kept these for a couple of years, last one went not long ago.

Easy to keep, breed etc- fish tank setup, not bars as they will escape!

Mix of bird seads, small amount of fruit, and live foods. (can go into more details if interested).

Sawdust and hay on the bottom, egg crate and toilet rolls all over the cage.

I did use commercial wooden hides etc, but as these things poo for england, its easier using tissue boxes etc you can throw away.

Word of warning, they're like a mouse on speed! So mega fast, and adults are normally quite nervous / shy.

My young tamed down quite well.

Thanks for that Chris. I didnt know about the live foods i take it a few meal worms??

For their small size I only gave them decent size live foods!

They had morios, locust (would take sub adult!), and very occasionally waxies.
