"The fox squirrel and gray squirrel bury nuts and acorns in the ground near their den trees. In winter these are dug up and eaten, even through inches of snow. http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/natbltn/60... "DO SQUIRRELS MIGRATE OR HIBERNATE IN THE 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!" http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lane/... Red squirrel - "Active during the day, they spend the warmer months preparing for winter by finding and hiding food. They do not hibernate, but if the weather is very cold, a squirrel will stay in his nest until it is warmer. A red squirrel usually has several nests in tree hollows or underground tunnels, and any number of food caches. Each cache might hold two hundred pine cones. Using their keen sense of smell, red squirrels can easily locate stored food even under a meter (3 ft) of snow!" http://www.switcheroozoo.com/profiles/re... "Winter: The grey squirrel does not hibernate and it cannot store enough energy to survive for long periods without food. A larger, thicker winter drey is built, usually on a strong branch close to the trunk, and a squirrel will lie up in this in very cold weather, coming out now and then to search out hidden stores of food. These stores of single nuts and other items are buried in the ground in autumn, well spread out. They are found by smell, rather than memory. Often they are not found at all and later may grow, helping the dispersal of trees. Winter dreys are often shared for warmth. As it sleeps, the squirrel curls its tail around its body to act as a blanket." I got this from Yahoo! User.
they hibernate
they dance
Ground squirrels (like chipmunks and prairie dogs) live in ground burrows, and many become dormant in winter (hibernate). Tree squirrels genera contains most of the common, bushy-tailed squirrels in North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, which prefer the heights of the trees, as opposed to ground squirrels, and spend little time on the ground. Tree squirrels do not hibernate during the winter months, but they keep all activities to a minimum to conserve energy. Hence, they often seem to almost completely disappear during the winter months. Winter tree nests (called dreys) are often shared for warmth where tree squirrels keep warm by snuggling with their family members. When they sleep, they use their big furry tails to cover themselves to keep as warm as possible. A squirrel will come out now and then to search for hidden stores of food.
With a heater maybe?

These stores of nuts and other items (like pine cones in the case of the red squirrel) are buried by a squirrel in the ground in late autumn, a period also spent on instinctive binge eating. Often the hidden nuts are not found at all and later may grow into new trees.
Baby squirrels are not born in the winter in the New England territories. These animals need to be born in warmer weather.
No, squirrels do not hibernate but stay in their nest during the coldest periods of winter,
there mammles kadu.
listen. I don't know how old you are, but squirrels have fur. That keeps them warm through most climates (weather).
Stop feeding your cat.
They don't need to keep warm, they have a double coat so they stay warm.
its fur keeps it warm
