Unless you are an experienced breeder trying to prepare your frogs for mating; inducing brumation is a risky endeavor. My recommendation is not to provide conditions that induce it and just keep your animals healthy and well cared for. In the case of Budgett frogs, that means keeping them in their regular water environment.

Although there are some articles stating not doing it will shorten their lives; have not seen any scientific evidence to support it. Because of the risk involved for brumating frogs; myself won't do it with my animals. Sorry for the frog's death .
