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.
