Reptiles do not hibernate, they go through a process known as brumating/brumate Reptiles are exothermic and require a stable ambient temperature to thrive. When a country/re â¦ gion is in it's winter months, where temperatures are slightly lower and the amount of sunlight is cut down, a gecko will go through brumation.amsters can go into this hibernating state and they have retained the ability to do so in captivity. A true hibernation is a state of dormancy that allows an animal to conserve energy during the winter months when food is in short supply.
Usually, before they go into hibernation, the animal has to increase its body fat to survive, which means eating much more than usual in the months leading up to winter. Although hibernation always happens in winter, many different things can act as the actual trigger for animals to start, including temperature drops, decrease in food availability, changes in day length and hormone changes.
