Dubia Roaches

Try insulating your tank with some cork or Styrofoam or something like that and cover the of your vivarium for 1/3. This will keep temp en moister higher in your tank. Temp should not exeed 865° for alonger time. Also put the insulation material UNDER your tank.

I have a hermit crab climbing background. It's basically tightly woven coconut fiber. That seemed to help a bit, but styrofoam under the tank is a great idea. I can imagine a lot of heat is lost that way. I'll have to try it out.

Insulate 3 sides of your tank too, this will also make your frog feel more secure and less stressed

The climbing background is on two sides of the tank (the back and one side) and the UTH covers most of the third side. What isn't covered with background is covered with plants. I'll have to post a picture of my tank when I get home. Hopefully insulating the bottom too does the trick. Also, the top of the tank is just a fish tank hood and I have a piece of fabric covering the holes on it where the filter would normally go. Should I find something better to cover that part with? I'm thinking I should start a new thread that isn't labeled "dubia roaches" LOL

Maybe a new tread yes. When you keep your frog in a fish tank, make sure there is inough ventilation. I know ZooMed promotes their fish tanks as vivarium but I still think there is not enough ventilation for any land creature. perhapsyou should cover with some gage of some kind. Cloth can block the air flowing trough when it becomes saturated with the evaporating moisture from your thank. Stagnant air in a closed, wet and heated envirement can cause molds to grow and cauld harm your frog or any other animal living in it, even crickets that are not eaten instandly. so watch out for it
