Falling from the sky - kind of
My entry for today @juliank's #animalphotography challenge is a photo of a tiny dormouse.
You may wonder where did I found it? It fell from the sky, well, almost. We have a huge problem with dormice in the late summer and fall. They are having a lot of babies, at that time of year and they are searching a place to stay. So where better, than in our houses attic. Despite we changed the roof they find a way to come up there. During the day, they are sleeping, but at night we just hear them munching our pears and wood.
One day this little cutie fell down from the attic to the ground. Unfortunately, he didn't have a nice future. I know, they are making some damage, but how can anyone be so cruel and make some harm to this fluffy creature of nature. Did you ever saw them in person?

We had to have our attic insulation removed due to a mouse infestation. It was sanitized, then reblown with a cellulose insulation that mice don't like. We had our roof done as well.
We live fairly close to a creek and near a lot of subdivision builds.
The type we had are called deer mice (because of their color) and they carry disease.
We've sat and watched these little critters climb up the brick wall of the house beside us. The find a way in under the soffit or under a loose shingle.
They are attracted to seeds left out for the birds and of course heat.
When there is a matter of health, money shouldn't be the problem. I believe you did the best you could, but the animals are tough. They adapt quickly. When hunger is involved, then they will do anything to survive.
So pretty!!!
Thank you!
Soo cute! :-)

How cute and small! I have never seen these animals. Thank you for showing me that!
And thank you for coming around. Too bad I don't have any photo of the fully grown animal - they are a bit too scared and quick for our eyes and the camera. But I bet you can try to google it. ;)
I can do it? How?
Or I can just show you - look at them here.
Спасибо, с удовольствием!
Your welcome!
