How Hardy are Tomato Frogs? Other Frogs? Need a Hardy frog!

They're more hardy than pacman frogs but I would never buy a frog if I could not meet its requirements. Tolerances are a different matter.

Just get a heatmat and stick it to the side of the tank. Hook it up to a thermostat so when it gets too cold some nights it will kick on and warn up the tank.

"Tolerances are a different matter." Well Put, I realize that, but all I was getting at it is that a Tomato frog seems to require a temperate range that is similar to my home, I read on a care sheet that during the day the need 70-75, and dropping down to 60-65 and night, so this frog can live comfortably in my house without have to add any heat, etc., whereas with a Paman, it would require another heat source.

Mostly all frogs/toads need some other form of heat or another, other than the room they are kept in. I would get a heating pad like stated above, or a light fixture with an incandescent bulb.

I can't recommend hardy frogs, but I sure can reccomend some great heat laps and heating pads. :P

Seriously though, if you want something that needs higher temps, set up some kind of small heating element and put it somewhere that doesn't have a draft.

I know how to set up a heat pad, At the time I posted this thread I was looking for an amphibain that didn't require one.

Hey Poly, I've had my Tomato frog for a little over 2 weeks now, and I can certainaily vouch for there resiliance. Mines actually gained some size and become fairly bold in a short space of time.
I keep him at 72-73f during the day, and it drops to about 68f at night.And twice daily mistings. Horacio, as he/she is named, has gone from a dull rusty leaf colour to a solid deep orange. And seems so far to have a steady appetite.

Hope that helps you a little
