Yes they can. It is called torpor, it is similar to hibernation, not a true hibernation. This can happen if the temperature drops to low.

Is hibernation acquired?

Hibernation is primarily an innate behavior that has evolved in certain species as a survival mechanism to cope with seasonal changes, particularly during cold winter months when food is scarce. While the basic physiological and behavioral traits of hibernation are genetically programmed, environmental factors and experiences can influence how and when animals enter hibernation. For instance, young animals may learn from older individuals or adapt their hibernation patterns based on their environmental conditions. However, the fundamental ability to hibernate is not acquired but rather inherent to certain species.
