African Pygmy Dormouse
I was browsing online at various different pet adoption websites, and I came across a little furry on Gumtree, an African Pygmy Dormouse.
It is SO cute, honestly, absolutely bloomin' adorable! I would definitely say to go and google these little fellas!
I've done some basic research into their care (literally in the last hour haha!) and have found out about their basic needs, eg, housing, feeding etc but was wondering if anyone here has any experience in looking after them. They apparently require a mixture of seeds, fruit and veg, and chicken/mealworms/crickets to eat, but I don't know what fruit and veg they CAN eat so it would be great to find that out!
I'm going to keep this short as I could go on for hours about how adorable these little guys are, but it would be great to hear from anyone who has owned them or knows anything about them or even has some links to a good website!
Thank you!

Re: African Pygmy Dormouse
They are adorable, I don't think they're that easy to care for but I must admit I've always had a bit of a hankering 
There's a list of at least some of the fruits they can eat here.

Unfortunately no, the person who had it took it off the market so I presume they sold it!
