    Oops, I should have worded it better. I don't want to let my frog brumate or Aestivate or whatever frogs do during the winter Since it is still growing I want it to continue to eat on a regular basis. But if my frog doesn't eat does this mean it's going away for the winter? What should I do then?

    Give less substrate. Only enough for the frog to cover itself and no more. This should be enough to prevent the frog from going into a deep sleep.

    My frog is looking a little on the thinner side than I'd like after sleeping for a few weeks. She keeps trying to sleep real hard, though. Is there anything I can do to wake her up? I put her in a warm bath and she's "somewhat" awake, but she's kind of just... there. If that makes sense.Still has lots of skin on her dangling about, heh.

    80° bath solution of Pedialyte and de-chlorinated water. Every 10 ounces of water add 1 ounce Unflavored Pedialyte. Soak for 20 minutes or until water cools, then place her in a 80° bath of just de-chlorinated water. Should help, but with winter here it is hard to fight instincts. Help her remove the sloughed skin.

    Where do I purchase it by chance? Is this something you find at Walmart, or Petco/Petsmart?

    Normally you'll find Unflavored Pedialyte with the baby foods and baby juices. It must be the clear unflavored kind.

    Lost her... She's gone. Came home to find she has darkened out and no longer breathing. Great way to start my Christmas. Meh..
