∙ 10y agoThe answer to this is, yes. All rodents hibernate unless the climate does not call for it. Winter climates are the reason for hibernation.
No, squirrels do not hibernate but stay in their nest during the coldest periods of winter,
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
Lots of different animals, e.g.ShrewMothHedgehogFoxesBirdsMice
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.
