I have a large vivarium that I made for poison arrow frogs.

It is not completely done, but it is fairly mature. I am building up invertebrates so that I wonĀ’t have to feed my critters. I began having a problem with wood lice. They were so abundant that they were eating my plants in the middle of the day. I also have slugs mealy bugs, scale, and some other things. I want those things. They are part of the food chain for my frogs, when I get them... but in the meantime, I needed to control the wood lice, so I grabbed a baby toad from outside and put it in. That was probably seven months ago.

He, Tiberius, is quite the climber. And everything was cool. Wood lice were hiding and eating dead things, slugs got rare, I would see some toad poop around, but rarely the toad. IĀ’d find him when I was watering sometimes. He would hop when I hit him with the spray. IĀ’m used to him being gone, but this time heĀ’s been gone for a while. The temperature in there can get as low as sixty at night, and not higher than seventy during the day. During the summer, it is warmer... obviously.

The question I have not been able to find the answer to is about hibernation. I think Tiberius might be hibernating. I didnĀ’t think it was cold enough for that. Is there a clock that toads have? Will they hibernate for a period as part of their toad modus?
