Last year I had a toadlet, he was a monster ate and grew like crazy. Winter came he burrowed in, came out every now and then for water. Unfortunately - he ended up dying. I have read that you should hibernate them, cool them down then put them in the fridge (of all things), I have read leave them outside in a deep bucket of substrate and have read they don't need to hibernate. Long story short, I now have 2. They are rescues from the neighborhood construction. Winter is on and I too am wondering what the protocol is. One has burrowed in for a few days at a time, the other off and on. Both have slowed if not stopped eating all together, so here we go again... what to do...

It's funny, I read accounts of toads living 20 years in captivity, but there's hardly and info at all on hibernation or getting through the winter...
