Anyone else see this? Thought it was cute. Who knew a little thing could snore so loudly?!

I thought it sounded like he had an upper respiratory infection.
They don't actually sound like this in hibernation, so don't worry. The normal sound is a high-pitched 'peep'.
This is a reimagined version of some lovely silent footage of a dormouse in torpor taken by Surrey Wildlife Trust Mammal Project Officer, Dave Williams.
If you read the description, the snoring is not actually the dormouse. This was a silent video that they "reimagined" and dubbed over. It's a very cute video though and I think it was made to try to garner attention for the dormouse, but obviously not a lot of people read the description.
