They slow their body systems down. They drop their metabolism, slow their heart beat, reduce their body temperature and survive by burning fat laid down during the summer and autumn months. Water is a byproduct of the metabolism of fat and supplies all the fluid the hedgehog needs when its metabolism is in such a 'low gear'.
