Question and answers on Squirrels.


Hey, Tammy!

Wow, squirrels finally come up! They are really active no matter which situation! Do they like to take a break? How many hours a day does average squirrels spend sleeping?

Hi, Tina!

Fist of all, thanks for reading my blog and also asking questions. It's great that people are asking them! I welcome it anytime of the day. When people are getting so quiet, I really start to wonder if they are reading and learning something new.

So, anyway, to answer your question (which is a very good one, too!), it is unknown exactly exactly how long squirrels sleep, but they hibernate beginning in June to September and stay asleep until February, and squirrels will sleep in their nest at night and during parts of the day when they are not out foraging (foraging means looking.) for food.

Hope I answered your question! And remember to take care of the animals around you and the 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Cheers,
Tammy
