Toad gone underground – hibernation.

[kueluck]

*sigh* Now Rufus has gone underground, so for the moment I considered myself toadless. I put roaches in a shallow glass dish that is buried into the substrate in case they come out at night. There are also pill bugs milling about and a few free roaming roaches. I'm concerned that crickets may bit the toads which can lead to infections and I don't want to deal with that. I can see Rufus through the glass where he has buried himself and it's really hard not to dig him up, but from what I've read, hibernation lengthens their lifespan and I'm all about that! I'm guessing at this point I just need to keep the substrate moist, but not damp, and the tank day temp is 70-74, nights get down to 64-67.
