Another tree frog stowaway

[elly]

disclaimer: I'm not an expert. I don't have any more experience than reading an article on how to safely hibernate White's Tree Frogs, but no one else seems to have responded yet.

I would put him out if it warmed up a bit (not supposed to be freezing for a couple nights) and trust him to find his own way, but that's just me. Not being fed might be a good thing since you don't want the food in his stomach to ferment and risk causing him problems.

I don't know anything about how long he'd need to hibernate to mate, so I'm not going to attempt to advise there.

I don't know for sure that the frog wouldn't lose his ability to hunt after spending a winter being fed but it doesn't seem very likely. My pet frogs seem to still have hunting instincts. Becoming too familiar with humans might not be good, but I doubt it would be a serious threat either.

Edit: This person seems to be saying that it might take as little as two weeks of cold/hibernation for them to want to mate: http://www.caudata.org/forum/f53-oth...s-indoors.html
