As the makers of the video are keen to point out, there is nothing wrong with the mouse: as with humans, some of them snore and some of them don't. I am fantastically wet about animals, Vet, and made doubly sure I wasn't inviting people to laugh at a dying creature. You may enjoy the little chap's cuteness without guilt. Besides, when he has woken up from his hibernation, our cat will probably hunt it down and kill it.
This little door-mouse is not snoring, but is suffering from an acute attack of emphysema. The sound is that of the classic door-mouse "death rattle".
