The edible dormouse uses forests with connected canopies and numerous shelters. It rests in cavities or nests by day and travels along branches at night. Mature beeches and oaks are particularly important as seasonal sources of abundant food.
It eats tree seeds and fruit, supplementing its diet with invertebrates and other available foods. It increases fat reserves before winter. It hibernates in sheltered places near the ground, using energy stored during warmer months. Brief torpor also reduces energy expenditure.
Breeding is linked to years of abundant tree fruiting. The female rears young in shelter, and births may vary greatly between seasons. Preserving hollow trees and canopy connections facilitates daily travel. Forest thinning changes both food availability and the safety of nightly routes.
