All About Pikas

Pikas do what we all have to do. They eat, sleep and run around like crazy some days. The Pika Works people usually visit the mountains in late summer when the pikas are busy gathering grass and flowers for their haypiles. Pikas don't hibernate during the winter so they must store plenty of food to eat in the harsh and snowy winter months. They are herbivores and eat just about any plant in their neighborhood.

Pikas often carry long stems of plants in their mouths. They may be coming along a log, running down a rocky slope or scurrying across a meadow to fill their growing haypiles.
