    Default Success!

    Well, today is the day I started to wake up my Budgett frog from 3 months of estivation. And he made it! This is the first time I've put a frog through estivation, and he's starting to come out of it! So far, he's been opening his eyes and wiggling around a little bit. I'll make an update when he starts to remove his cocoon.

    That is very interesting! I am thinking about getting myself a Budgett's. I am wondering, do Budgett's have to go through estivation? I am just wondering for sure.

    A Budgett's is a really great choice, so far mine has been relatively hassle free with awesome feeding reactions.. They need to be cleaned out pretty frequently but it isnt too much trouble, worth it for such an interesting frog!

    I've been told by everyone I've spoken to that estivation is better for their overall longtetm health, going to try with mine when it starts to get colder, around October I think..

    Hope that helps! I'm pretty new to Budgett's frogs so trying to learn all the time...
