Default Self Hibernation..???

Hi all. My chubby frog had buried herself completely, so I checked on her. She was very deep in the substrate, and was very lethargic. I gave her a warm bath to wake her up, and offered her some food. She was not interested. I just saw the other thread, and is it possible that mine is hibernating herself? Should I leave her to it?

All help appreciated!

It's not loud where she is. I'm just slightly worried-should I leave her to do her thing, or not?

i'd leave her. they know best. or unless you want it to not hibernate, then if you dont turn up the temps slightly for about 2 hours and then back to normal. oh and also give her a good mist
