Squirrels do not hibernate in the winter. They spend more time in their dens, and they may even share a den with another squirrel to keep themselves warm. When they do go outside, you may be wondering how squirrels stay warm. Squirrels pack on an extra layer of fat as the weather gets colder so they can survive the snowy months!

Throughout the fall, squirrels pack away food all over the yard, and possibly in your home so they have reserves to come back to. Minnesota is cold in the winter, so it would be hard for squirrels to survive without their food reserves!
