Alive?
If it is dead, it won't be breathing. Look under the porcupine's nose or mouth, like under their chin. DON'T move it or touch it, try to make a safe place AROUND it.
It is usually dead. But it could be hibernating, sleeping, or comatose.
no cause its dead
It's probably not dead. It is maybe sleeping for awhile. I mean hamsters have to sleep to you know.
Pull his eyelid up and gently blow on his cornea . There should be a slight twitch or jerk reflex, even duing hibernation .
A hedgehog's heart beat when its hibernating is so slow you would think it dead- about three times a minute, i think.
Tap it
It does not eat.
No. If your chickens are 'hibernating' they are most probably dead :'( svgksavhdksavgkud
If your snake is hibernating, it will still be moving slowly, and breathing. If your snake is dead, it will most likely not be moving, and it won't be breathing. However, some dead snakes will still bite and twitch a little after they die. This will usually last for a few minutes.
The ones that hibernate around here seem to sleep a lot.
