When do squirrels hibernate?

Squirrels generally don't hibernate, but their activities will be reduced, and they usually keep warm in caves. Squirrels collect a lot of food in autumn to maintain their livelihood throughout the winter. When there is no food, they will choose warm weather to feed, but when the temperature is too low, captive squirrels may hibernate, so they need to be warmed to avoid hibernation.

Squirrels generally don't hibernate. Throughout the winter, their activities will decrease and their sleep time will increase, but they don't hibernate. Only in the cold winter, I will seal my rest hole with hay and then wrap my tail to keep warm.

Squirrels hoard a lot of food before winter comes and can stay indoors for half a winter. When the hamster's food is about to be destroyed, squirrels will look for food when the temperature is high, and stay in their holes at other times.

But when the temperature is low enough, squirrels will go into hibernation when they are raised artificially. Therefore, in autumn, it is suggested to feed squirrels more food to increase calories, let squirrels store fat, raise the temperature appropriately and reduce the chance of hibernation.
