Do squirrels in captivity hibernate?

Squirrels like most mammals will hibernate if the correct environmental factors exist. Squirrels, bears, and other animals that enter a state of hibernation (or torpor), do so because of extreme low temperatures and lack of food sources. Hibernation is a state that these animals enter, to reduce their metabolism and survive desolate seasons. Since in captivity these animals will not enter such extremes it seems logical they would not enter into any state of hibernation or torpor. As long as you feed them regularly and keep the thermostat to a solid 70 degrees Fahrenheit, they will not enter hibernation.
