The autumn diet of the edible dormouse Glis glis Linnaeus, 1776 in northwest Spain was investigated on the basis of analysis of the stomach contents of 32 indi­viduals captured in September and October of 1985 and 1986. Remains of Quercus robur acorns and Corylus auellana hazelnuts accounted for 86.5% of the total dry weight of the 32 samples, while blackberry remains accounted for 10.2%. Remains of vegetative plant structures (leaves, etc) accounted for only 3.3% of total dry weight. Insect remains were frequently present, but in very small amounts (about 0.01% of total dry weight). Dormouse hairs and ectoparasites were also frequently present, presumably as a result of accidental ingestion during grooming.
