Can frogs be kept at constant temperature without hibernating?

Frogs can be kept at constant temperature and do not need to hibernate. But it is easy to lead to premature exhaustion of fat storage in frogs, leading to death. Because animals with hibernation habits will stop eating during hibernation, or eat in a short awake state. For example, in tropical areas, because of the warm weather, the hibernating time of animals should be very short, especially the hibernating animals in zoos, which can still move freely in winter under the facilities of heat preservation and cold protection. Therefore, the hibernation habit of animals is still an unsolved mystery in natural science.

It is generally believed that the hibernating process of animals is regulated by many endocrine glands, but the results obtained by different experimental animals or different methods are quite inconsistent and even contradictory. Therefore, the research progress in this field is very slow.
