Sažetak
Prehibernation behaviour and hibernation pattern was investigated in three species of Gliridae, Muscardinus avellanarius, Eliomys quercinus and Myoxus glis in order to test the allometric relationship between torpor bout length and body weight. Food preferrence, weight increase and beginning of torpor bouts were studied. The mean of the longest torpor bouts was calculated for the two undisturbed species, Muscardinus and Eliomys, and it was significantly inversely correlated with body weight.
