Fattened Up for the Long Nap


Just by looking at our little toad, you know that he knows that its time for hibernating like all the others of his kind. As the days grow ever shorter he's become lethargic, sleeping almost days on end, burying himself in the leaves of his pen, coming out only occasionally to soak. We brought his pen indoors now, keeping him in a cool spot in the bedroom lit mainly by the daylight. There's some crickets along too, just in case he should get hungry, but mostly they're just around to sing to him as he sleeps.
