Many species of ground squirrel like the flickertail hibernate in winter. They hibernation generally lasts for five to six months of the year. On the other hand tree squirrels are active throughout. ChaCha!

No, tree squirrels are active all year round. You may not see them as often in the winter, since they stay in their nests to conserve body heat. Call 1-800-2ChaCha unlimited Q's! Thanks, Jilianne!

No squirrels don't hibernate any place. That's why they will stash a bunch of food some place in a hollow tree. ChaCha on 24/7!
