To hibernate or not to hibernate, that is the question

Thank you for the reply. I don't know why I didn't get a notification for this. :-/

Yeah. I want to provide as natural and healthy a life as I can for Lydia. She picked us to be her family and loves us fiercely and we love her just as fiercely. I don't want to try hibernating her if I'd mess up and kill her, but by the same token, I worry about the undue stress of denying her her natural cycles. It's a rock and a hard place

I am hoping to find out what the difference is of allowing a toad to hibernate after a year of being in captivity. I am hoping to provide the answers for you and other toad keepers because this could be a very important discovery for the species. I am planning to hibernate in January then in the spring it will all begin to get interesting. I'll keep you posted.
