Question
where do squirrels store their acorns and how do they get the nuts in winter months?

Answer
Hi quvetch,
Squirrels store nuts in the ground during the summer and fall seasons. In the late fall they dig them up again and eat them. In the winter they hybernate, which is a long sleep that takes them through the winter months.
I hope this answered your question,
Thank you for the question,
Amanda
