Small_Mammals_of_Britain

Here to celebrate anything and everything to do with Britain's small mammals 🐁🐾🐿️🐾🦔

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

Take two minutes out of your day today to watch a sleepy hedgehog.
I guarantee you will return to your work with a smile on your face and an "Aw!" in your heart.

[Small_Mammals_of_Britain @SmallMammalsUK]

@BugsBeautiful It looks like a pygmy shrew, the long thick tail is actually a indicator (if it was a juvenile common shrew it would be thinner and slightly shorter)

[Small_Mammals_of_Britain @SmallMammalsUK]

@Allthingswild01 @Mammal_Society @MammSocStudents That looks like a summer home, so hopefully there shouldn't have been any occupants 🐭

[Chester Zoo Science @ScienceatCZ]

This juvenile bank vole was just one of the small mammal species we counted on the @chesterzoo estate this weekend - part of our big push to map our local ecosystem with our partners @RECORDLRC!

When you need to tickle a hedgehog 🦔🦔🦔

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

A little light relief for all the rabid weirdos: little Corky getting his lungworm treatment. Levacide is administered to the thinnest skin, the tummy, so it can soak in. Finding the right itchy spot to scratch makes the experience more pleasant and stressfree. For Corky, too! 😁

Some brilliant news 👍

[Mammal Society @Mammal_Society]

Have you heard the #GoodNews today!

A beaver #kit has been born in the @national_trust's Holnicote Estate for the first time in 400 years 🦫

Let's hope they get on better than this #beaver family 😉. Read the full article here 👉https://t.co/W3BtIpcBtl

[FourWands Wildlife @FourwandsW]

Keeping Miss Gabe entertained. ❤️

@LaraLandyLover @HedgehogCabin I would agree with @HedgehogCabin the daytime is too long and hot at the moment. Hedgehog mums are more likely to be out this time of year as well so that they are able to feed their little ones. Just keep an eye out for strange behaviour like circling or moving very slowly 🦔

An interesting read about our weird and wonderful water shrews https://t.co/XNxdUJyAiv

[Small_Mammals_of_Britain @SmallMammalsUK]

@EmsyB12 @Mammal_Society Definitely a rat having a nice clean 🐭

[Small_Mammals_of_Britain @SmallMammalsUK]

So adorable 😍

[Helen Bradshaw @helslacy]

Oh. My. Days.

[Small_Mammals_of_Britain @SmallMammalsUK]

@han_lockwood @AmPwildlife @helslacy @RSPBChester @RECORDLRC @Mammal_Society @BangorSNS @christiandunn @CheshireWT @BangorBioZoo I would agree field vole as well 👍

[Small_Mammals_of_Britain @SmallMammalsUK]

@liv_outdoors You should be able to report it to your local wildlife record centre (if you search 'alerc' their website can direct it to your nearest one). The @Mammal_Society also has an app you can enter sightings on 🔎

[Small_Mammals_of_Britain @SmallMammalsUK]

@liv_outdoors They can be greatly affected by the cold as they are so small and need to eat regularly. It's also possible that a predator as left it as they don't taste very nice!

[People's Trust for Endangered Species @PTES]

A colony of rare dormice are being fed by motorway workers after nesting in a verge of the M1.

Wood #mouse watching what we were doing in the garden this afternoon 🐭 @NatureUK @Mammal_Society @SmallMammalsUK

[Mammal Society @Mammal_Society]

It's #RandomActsOfKindnessDay and today we're asking you to do one kind act towards #nature, no matter how big or small 🐾! It could be picking up a piece of #litter, placing a clean #freshwater source in your #garden or #donating to our charity 👉https://t.co/hTTE7FsOHg

[Small_Mammals_of_Britain @SmallMammalsUK]
