I have a grey tree frog that has been adult for about one year. Yesterday I went to refill his swimming pool, and I couldn't find him. Finally I found him in the pot with the bromiliad, under some of the moss. He isn't there today, he's out and about. Was he just trying to find a nice damp spot, or does he need to hibernate? If I tried to hibernate him, could I just put him in the garage in a container with dirt? How long does he need to hibernate? I understood he would be fine without it, but I'm wondering.....

Should my grey tree frog hibernate?

There isn't any need to hibernate the frog. It isn't necessary.
I suspect that the frog was simply seeking a different microclimate.

Hibernating frogs can be difficult, especially when you have no idea what your doing. I have lost many in the past years.
