abstract

The author has identified and described regular cases of falling of forest dormice into PET bottles that the locals exhibit to collect birch sap. Such bottles often remain attached to trees for a long time and are not removed after the season from the side of the sap. Various animals fall into them, among which dormice are regularly observed. The author’s experience of working with bottles for catching insects, which are filled with a special attractive and at the same time fixing solution based on wine or beer, with the addition of vinegar, salt and glycerine, is described. In such traps, also fixed on trees, the occurrence of dormice was twice as common as in the first case.
