Where Frogs Go in Winter?

Some terrestrial frogs will burrow into the earth for the winter, while those less adept at digging will seek shelter in the depths of leaf litter or in the deep nooks and crannies of downed logs or peeling tree bark. Aquatic frogs spend their winter on the bottom of lakes, ponds, or other bodies of water.

What happens to frogs in the winter?

During the winter, they go into a state of hibernation, and some frogs can be exposed to temperatures below freezing. Frogs and toads that spend most of their time out of the water and on land can usually burrow down below the frost line in burrows or cavities that are their hibernating space for the winter.

How do frogs stay warm in the winter?

Remove your frogs from their vivaria and place them in deli cups with damp sphagnum. Put a towel/blanket in the bottom of the cooler, then your frogs, then more towel/blanket, then your heat source on top.
