White's-TreeFrog is being inactive...?

Has the temp in your house changed? Has the humidity changed with the temp? My Dumpys eat 3 times a week... I put 12 crickets in each time... they each have 4 or 5 right a way... then finish the others off the next day. When my house gets to cold at night they do slow down. Maybe a form of hibernation... so I try to keep the night temp constant. My dumpys also love to get out and watch TV every night. My one red eye (the female) loves to get out and be held... but the male always pees on me... so I don’t' get him out as much. good luck...

Well... it HAS started snowing and therefor the temperature of my house has decreased. (Especially at night. It can get down to 60 in here.)

Should I leave the heat lamp on over night to counteract this? It is red so I worry he will forget the difference between night and day but I don't want him freezing into slowness. It sounds... unnatural....

You can replace the heat bulb with a ceramic heat emitter. It gives off heat, not light.

"Ceramic Heat Emitter"? Never heard of that. (sounds useful to have in my frozen world...) So now I ask: Cost? Size? Where would I find one? Does it go inside the tank or outside of it?

[Kurt]

It screws into a light socket. It should not be inside the tank, because you don't want the frog coming directly in contact with it. You can find a ceramic heater in Petco or any other pet store for that matter.

I am skeptical about it's ability to heat the tank beyond what it is already being heated. (Need a 10-15 degree increase as my house is 60 at night)

Problem 2: I live in a frozen wasteland hundreds of miles from the nearest petco/petco with a good heating device. Is there a way to get them online?

Also, the heat rocks/logs look like they might be useful as well. They wouldn't hurt it's skin or anything would they? *assumes they're used for reptiles and not amphibians*

[Kurt]

Heat rocks are the worst! They are designed to go in with the animal, but often end up burning said animal. Decent pet stores don't carry them.

Ceramic heat emitters can be purchased on-line from just about any where. Petco has on-line shopping, I believe, but so do a lot other stores/vendors. Josh's Frogs and Black Jungle probably have them too.

Oh and they definitely do work. What size tank do you have?
