When do frogs hibernate?

Hibernation usually begins in late autumn when the weather gets cold. Frogs are amphibians, and their body temperature will be affected by temperature. When the temperature drops to a certain extent, frogs hibernate underwater or in caves, and then return to the water to breed when the weather gets warmer the next spring.

Why do frogs hibernate? Frogs hibernate because they can't regulate their body temperature. When it is cold, the body temperature is too low, and the frog's movements will become slow. And insects can't survive in winter, and frogs can't get enough food sources. So they hibernate to reduce consumption and spend the winter safely.

Hibernation is also called "winter sting". The life activities of some animals are extremely reduced in winter, which is an adaptation of animals to adverse external environmental conditions in winter (such as lack of food and cold). Bats, hedgehogs and polar squirrels all have hibernation habits. Hibernation means that in the cold winter, the body temperature of some animals with different temperatures (some hibernating mammals and birds) and animals with variable temperatures can be reduced to close to the ambient temperature (almost to 0℃), and the whole body is paralyzed. When the ambient temperature further decreases or increases to a certain extent, or under other stimuli, their body temperature can quickly return to normal level.
