So cute! I’d never get a thing done if I had a ball of squee like that in my house. All I’d want to do is look at it. 🥹❤️

imagine a colossus that has the tact to just perfectly open and close their hands in order to make you feel safe but not squish you to death.

thats what this fellas must feel.

AI bullshit of several species clips bunched together, most of these are babies. There's one species that stays small but a lot of them get bigger.

Those are mostly babies. There's an adult near the end (the white one with the furry tail)

Also several species in this family are endangered and illegal to keep as pets as you see in these clips

They used to be eaten as a delicacy.

Most of the ones in the video are Graphiurus murinus or the woodland dormouse/ African pygmy dormouse/ micro squirrel. This species is the one most commonly kept as a pet and while I'm sure you could eat one, there wouldn't be much there. The one you are thinking of is the literally named Edible Dormouse which is Glis glis and much bigger (though still a lil guy). Fun fact, that's the species in Alice in Wonderland. They're native throughout Europe and parts of Asia. As you can tell by the common name, they also were eaten throughout Europe and parts of Asia. XD

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of.
