That is an option, but they aren't supposed to aestivate in Spring. His internal clock should be set to the seasons where he lives right? I wouldn't let him since this is a first time experiance for this member. Since he is worried to death about him going into aestivation I'm pretty sure that he will also worry himself to death while his frog slumbers. Do not want an accidental death due to a first time aestivation. That is my concern.
