Can you take pics? Sorry I can't help with the hibernation business, as I have never hiberanted any frog before. I do hibernate an eastern milk snake I have every year. When fall rolls around he stops eating and I have put him a cool spot to prevent him from wasting away. So down to the garage he goes. I provide him with a thick bedding and a bowl of water. From time to time I check in on him. When the garage gets to cold, I move him into the cellar.
