  • A studbook records captive animals and helps select the least-related pairs to increase genetic diversity.

  • Wildwood Trust cites habitat loss and climate change as reasons for dormice’s national decline since 2000.

  • An online husbandry guide published by Wildwood Trust is intended to help other zoos breed dormice.
  • That’s why I say it is like a dating agency because we are working out who the best pairs are to get together to get the most robust genetics essentially.
