To hibernate or not to hibernate, that is the question

[Herpin Man]

Many temperate herp species require hibernation to induce breeding. That is really the only reason hobbyists typically hibernate the animals.
There is a great deal of risk with hibernation. Being kept at the wrong temperature or moisture level can cause death or illness. Not having enough body weight can result in death of the animal, as can food in the digestive tract, or being cooled or warmed up too rapidly. Sometimes, a hibernating herp will die despite our best efforts to do everything right.
Unless you intend on breeding your toad, it has nothing to gain by being hibernated.
