Acronyms for exotic mammals

Happy new year.
Hope you had a good year in 2011.

I've made a post similar to this on the EFK forum

To start with, I found it very hard to navigate amongst the most common acronyms for different exotic mammal species.
I'm not that much into birds, reptiles, fish and the like, so this it only going to be a list for mammals.
If anybody out there reads this, and think a list for other animals would be cool, or I'm missing something, then please comment, and I'll try and make a list.
Or copy the idea, and post it on your site (a reply here + a link to your site and a link back to mine, would be highly appreciated).

AGD = Asian Garden Dormouse
APD = African Pygmy Dormouse

APH = African Pygmy Hedgehog

APM = African Pygmy Mouse

APR = African Pouched Rat

GPR = Gambian Pouched Rat

PD = Prairie Dog

RGS = Richardson's Ground Squirrel

STO = Short Tailed Opossum

German hedgie forum

FINALLY I found a German forum where they don't mind me speaking English :)
So now I'm just hoping one of them want to act as my "mentor" and I can get a long eared hedgie boy at some point :)

I really need my own apartment before this can happen. And a car... It's not fun taking the train to Germany... I would definitely need a car ;)

I'm crossing my fingers I do not have to get a hedgehog from a pet store :)

Found a place ^_^

Normally I'm not that happy about getting animals from pet shops, but yesterday I was visiting this one big shop, and they may have all the animals I want ^_^
It used to be a very bad store in my opinion, but they changed owner a year ago, and it seams like it's a cool place now.
They have all these theme days, where they get people to come and speak about animals, and when I talked about the danish chinchilla club, and that I know people in the GP and ferret club, they got all exited and got my name... That's so cool.

But the cool thing is, they can get long eared hedgies, and as far as I could understand, they will be able to tell me what subspecies they have. That is so cool. It's very rare to find people who know what subspecies they have, and if I want to breed the hedgie at one point, I really need to find out what subspecies I have.

They can also get african pygmy dormice and asian/garden dormice.
The had a lot of persian jirds and some duprasi, animals I've been looking into.
I see duprasi from time to time, but they are mostly bread for feeding, and even though a pet store duprasi might not be the best animal when it comes to genetics, I would rater have such an animal than a feeder animal because I think the risk of inbreeding with feeders a greater.
When it comes to jirds the most common one is the mongolian gerbil.
I've also seen the shaws jird from time to time, but it's rare to see any other species.

I know it's possible to get ADS's from breeders from time to time. I haven't seen the asian ones here though. I know they are in germany and holland.

So I'm happy at the moment, I know where to get a lot of species I really want.
Now I just need to contach one from DCKF (Danish Chinchilla Pet Association) and talk about speaking in the store :)

Long eared hedgehog

I'm not updating that much at the moment. Neither on the danish version or in here.
So I thought I'de might as well try and get some help :)

I'm looking for a long eared hedgehoge. Hermiechinus auritus.
I would prefer to know what subspecies, and I really want a male :)

So if you read this blog, and you are able to ship to Denmark (or maybe I could come and get the hog, and make a trip out of it), or know someone who breeds these hogs, please let me know :)
