My son collected tadpoles at the end of the summer and they turned out to be grey tree frogs. I set up a terarrium for them and all seemed to be going well except now, I'm missing all 5 grey tree froglets. I hoping maybe they have gone into hibernation, I have been trying to research but can not find any GOOD info. i.e what causes them to go into hibernation, temp drop, or just because its that time of the year.
The last time I saw one of the froglets he had this foamy substance he seemed to be covering himself with, I thought it might be the antifreeze stuff they ozze to protect their cells from cold damage.
I read that if you would like these guys to go into hibernation to drop the temp to 50 degrees and maintain it. This has not been the case, my apartment has not been consistantly cold. I do not have control over the heat sometimes its cold sometimes it's swealtering.
Anyone keep these guys?
Thanks
