toad not eating. hibernation?

I have had my toad since he was a tadpole. He has eaten good on crickets forever. He is just a little tike, and now he has stopped eating. He is an american toad. Do you think he is going into hibernation???

It's not very likely unless it's getting too cold. I've never hibernated my toads and they eat all year (which gets expensive, maybe I SHOULD hibernate them, lol). How long has it been since he last ate? What's his habitat like?
