Hibernation
Autumn is a particularly eventful time for Squirrels. Here at CJ Wildlife we are passionate about all garden wildlife – so keeping all visitors well fed and ready for winter is vital. Squirrels don't hibernate, but they are only active for a few hours a day during the winter months. The remainder of the time, they rest or sleep in their nest. In early autumn, they begin to prepare for winter by eating a lot more food to build up their fat reserves. They also build up food stocks to help them survive the cold winter months. They do this by hiding their food in the ground, in hollow trees or in tree cracks. Thanks to their good sense of smell, they can often find the food again.
