Do my pacs need to estivate?

thay would be fine if you never did. but i think of it this way if thay do it in the wild you should be doing it ..you dont have to tho

That's not the case.
They would be perfectly happy never aestivating. Aestivation can be dangerous if not done properly, and should never be done for a baby/juvenile frog. The reason they do it in the wild is to survive stressful conditions.

IMO if you are not breeding, then there is no reason to aestivate them. They don't really gain much from it, and it can be pretty risky.

Thanks! I would be so nervous that I would do it wrong or not be able to bring them out of it.

Yeah, I have no plans to ever aestivate my frog. I don't even brumate/hibernate my more sturdy reptiles, and it'd be safer for them than for a frog.
