Squirrels are not obligate hibernators,hibernation occurs on an individual basis and is influenced by environmental factors and the nutritional state of the squirrel. Also note that it is only the adult squirrels that have fat stores who hibernate the spring born juveniles don't usually have fat reserves therefore the juveniles would not hibernate
Red squirrels do not hibernate, rather they remain active all year round. They store food in caches to sustain themselves during the winter when food is scarce.
Squirrels scatter seeds by hiding them in various caches in their feeding range. Squirrels do not hibernate but do enter torpor but when they are active they use their stores to sustain themselves in the winter.
Snakes believe it or not hibernate in the winter as so do bears, frogs, iguanas , squirrels and chipmunks.
