Hi EmmaP
It is a minority who don’t hibernate, and most of the ones I’ve heard about have been hoglets. But the really important thing is to leave water available all winter in case, because they do sometimes emerge for short periods of time during hibernation as well. They’ve even been known to build new hibernation nests, so leaving lots of leaves and other suitable materials around is also a good idea.
