The etymology is inconsistent with that at Dormouse, and has no references. The references at Dormouse, however, are of uncertain quality.

Can anyone change the colors of the distribution map? Pink is very hard to tell apart from red. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nina Hollfelder ( talk • contribs) 11:33, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
Could anyone provide a citation for the story about Romans raising these things in jars? It's a great little bit of trivia, but it's the sort of information that I find on the internet all the time and can never quite tell if it's true or not. It would help wikipedia's credibility to have citations for crazy facts like this!! Morgan 19:18, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
User:Norfolkdumpling Just thought you'd like to know, it is not a type of dormouse. Just like an Eagle Owl isn't a Eagle, the Edible Dormouse isn't a Dormouse. Regards.
Nope, sorry 100% sure its the Glis Glis. User:Norfolkdumpling
Considering we don't have the stomachs to digest bones, like snakes do, did people actually disassemble these tiny morsels? Or.. were they gnawed at like chicken wings? Either way I wouldn't wanna waste my time eating dozens of little things when I could just kill a large animal and eat the good parts.
I cancelled the following sentence because it doesn't make any sense: 'ghiro' is just the Italian name of the fat dormouse:
"The edible dormouse is also known in Italy as Ghiro, for its capacity of sleeping 20 hours out of 24."

I'm a Slovenian and i've already eaten dormouse - we usually make a goulash out of his flesh and is quite good actually. The Slovene name for dormouse is "polh". mrudolf1 13:55, 18 February 2011 (CET)
Please can you amend the link to Mammals Trust UK to http://www.ptes.org/?page=166. Mammals Trust is part of PTES but this page does not exist any more. Thanks, People's Trust for Endangered Species — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.71.30.173 ( talk) 12:09, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
13th reference "Confirmed presence of territorial groups of golden jackals (Canis aureus) in Slovenia" doesn't say anything about dormouse or Slovenian traditions about them. Or am I missing something?-- Kyng ( talk) 14:58, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
"it is absent [...] from the northern coasts of France, Germany, and the Low Countries" [bolding mine] map shows it present on Baltic Sea cost of Germany. Either the map is wrong, or the text should be altered to "it is absent [...] from the North Sea coasts of France, Germany, and the Low Countries" HMallison ( talk) 12:25, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
You shouldn't use a dead edible dormouse as the main photo for this article. The article for humans don't use the picture of a dead body as well.-- 31.16.65.94 ( talk) 00:36, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
