Raccoons spend most of the winter hunkered down in their dens, but they can't rest all the time. Instead, they'll emerge every few weeks to forage for food and drink water. Raccoons are opportunistic foragers, especially in winter. They want food that's easy to find, and lots of it. It's also common that raccoons will find food in areas like your house so if ever that happens, you can call The Critter Guy for immediate help in removing these raccoons.

Why do squirrels hibernate during winter?
"Although squirrels seem to disappear from sight in the winter months, they are in the exact places where they lived during the warmer months. In fact, squirrels spend their entire lives within only three to five acres. Ground squirrels hibernate during the winter months, but tree squirrels do not. Tree squirrels keep warm by snuggling with their family in their tree nests or ground burrows. As soon as the weather permits, they emerge and begin hunting for food again. Squirrels are very sensitive to weather changes and prepare for an upcoming drop in temperature by instinctively burying their nuts underground as well as binge eating!"
