Habitat
editThe article says "the garden dormouse's main habitat is the forest, though it can also be found in fruit-growing regions". Now, I've only seen one of these creatures once, in my garden in the south of France. Not a forest for miles and miles, and hardly a tree within 100 metres. And not exactly a fruit-growing region though there are includes vineyards. According to the French Wikipedia version, Le lérot vit dans les vergers, les jardins et parcs (il est plus fréquent dans l'entourage humain que le muscardin ou le loir). Il fréquente facilement les greniers... et bâtiments abandonnés. ["The Garden Dormouse lives in orchards, gardens and parks (it is more common around humans than the Hazel Dormouse or the Edible dormouse). It inhabits barns... and abandoned buildings."] So, is the reference here to forests wrong? Emeraude (talk) 12:38, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
No. Your single isolated experience doesn't mean anything. d(^_^) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.137.100.26 (talk) 09:25, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
