Glis glis
Since nobody wants to talk to me about jerboas
 I thought I'd try Glis Glis. I have a problem. I called out the pest control people to find out what was making the racket in my roof ( thinking rats ) and he found Glis Glis droppings. Not suprising as the previous occupants had them here a few years ago. Now I think they are REALLY cute and would leave them where they are, but my housemate is fed up of her stuff in the loft getting eaten! I belive that as the householder I'm allowed to live trap them? But then what? There's no way I'm killing them and I'm not supposed to release them, am I? What would you do? Please be nice to me, I'm new and a bit scared!

Possibly pm Glidergirl (marie) she may be able to help you out
our Fixx & loulou too they could possibly take them off your hands if you trap them or let you know of someone that could  hope that helps

Stunning critters!! I agree with Emma... Have a word with glidergirl, loulou or FIXX on here. But definitely trap them... Wouldn't really want them escaping and colonising...

You must call the council, they are a protected species so need licensed exterminators. Shame really, beautiful little things! Useless bit of info - they're known as seven sleepers in Europe as they hibernate for 7 months of the year.
Just to add - they are already colonising in the UK! This is not a money making thing, if you trap and sell you are breaking the law!

Didn't realise they were native here *oops*
 Is there somewhere that the OP can contact that will trap them, but release them elsewhere? It would be a damned shame to exterminate them

DEFRA regard them as a pest because they are an introduced (and escaped) species. But under EU laws they are protected. The exterminators trap and humanely kill them (apparently!). You can keep CAPTIVE BRED Glis Glis as pets but these aren't captive, they're wild.
OP should either contact DEFRA but their council would probably be more help.
