I think they come out to eat the nuts they have buried or hidden, don't they? That's what I always imagine they are doing, anyway, lol, they always look like they are making a mad dash to get the grub and then get back to bed out the cold!

Jules and I often talk about how wonderful it would be to hibernate for the whole winter. I'd be quite happy to be snuggled under quilts by the fire, snoozing whenever I wanted to.
