    Default Re: do frogs HYBERNATE

    Some frogs go into hibernation in order to survive Winter. Most any frog will slow it's activity in response to cooler shorter days. Problem is when it gets colder than frog can manage in the enclosure for extended periods. Such low temps can damage the frogs kidney's and lymph hearts. To determine the day/night temperature range for your frog, need to know it's species. To ID will need a few pics of frog from top and side and it's length from snout to vent (SVL). Also, if a Coqui, a call recording would help too.

    You can use a higher wattage bulb as long as it does not exceed the fixture maximum wattage. Also, will need either a manual controller (rheostat) or an automatic thermostat to dial in the correct temperature. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
