I am tired like a dormouse.

Source: tatoeba (1246086)

The squirrel, the ape and the monkey, are kept at home for amusement. The dormouse and other larger mice, such as the weevil, the martin, the ferret, trouble the home.

Source: tatoeba (7355853)

The garden dormouse is a rodent that sleeps during the winter.

Source: tatoeba (8370497)

For a long time the dormouse and polecat had seemed to him overfeeble enemies for his restless valour, even as the granary floor seemed to afford too narrow a field.
