Budgetts frog food.

This book has a good section on Budgett's: Amazon.com: Horned Frogs: Plus Budgett's Frogs (Advanced Vivarium Systems) (9781882770885): Philippe De Vosjoli: Books . Have not confirmed this; but have read that if you do not hibernate them yearly, frogs will live a shorter life. Good luck !

Yeah I read about that. I haven't read anywhere why it's just budgetts that need hibernation though.

hiya.
I have been keeping my budgett frog for over 15 years and I have not let it hirbernate even once.
hirbernation is important for them to live in natural cycle but I think it has its own risk.
I also keep one tortoise and 2 turtles and the tortoise is the breed that is supposed to hirbernate but I'm not letting it to do so cause I heard one of major cause of death among them is a failure of hirbanation. and he is living over 20years now.
