Spotted a load of these dotted throughout a local wood. Anybody know what they are ?

Thankyou, I will add them to my list of things to look for when I bimble through the area again. They are numbered (highest one was 47) but only found 15, all empty.

Had any tube contained nesting material would of left it well alone. Common sense don't know then leave it alone sort of thing The ones I found are all along a footpath in plain site so it's not like you can avoid seeing inside them.

They'd have certainly noticed the difference in their hunger. An Edible Dormouse can be up to 150g normally and over 200g before hibernation whereas a Hazel Dormouse only reaches 30g tops :)

So more rat like then!

Is there not a risk those dormouse tubes make it easier for prey to take them?
