Hey all, brought my little girl to the vet today and everything checked out ok. The consensus is she is slowing down to hibernate mode which I suspected. Here is a pic I took of her this afternoon. Any tips of what I could do to make her more comfortable during her hibernation? I can't find a lot of info online.
I put them in a small half-height sterlite brand "shoe box" with many holes pierced in it (a small piece of screen is better). I put about 2 inches of moist coconut fibre in it and put a fake plant in there too, lying on the substrate. Put her in and just leave her where it gets cold but not near freezing, and leave her for a couple of months - don't feed her, she probably won't eat anyhow.

I have heard if some people brumating some frogs in the fridge (has anyone else heard of this?) But she is pretty and looks plump
She is pretty, huh? I have heard the fridge thing but the vet suggested putting some leaves in with her and placing her in a colder closet - and warming her in Feb at the latest to make sure she doesnt use up all her reserves.
