    excellent! he should be happy and eat for you soon, just let him settle.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    In the future it might be wise to fix the enclosure well before buying a pet frog.
    It will be best for the animal when it can settle in a well set-up tank instead of being subject to a lot of fiddling around while he needs to settle in.
    For now, it's looking better then before.
    My guess is the 30 degrees Celcius as a lowest temperature was somewhat high,
    besides i think you might cover up part of the top lid to keep it a little more moist,
    those critter keepers don't hold humidity up in my experience.

    The temperature is now at 80F or 26C

    Looks like you've done a great job! Its easy for others to say you should have done something different...... just going off of what the pet stores typically know doesnt set anyone up for success. Id like to say nice job making it right. Happy Thanksgiving!

    That is one of the reasons i like to tell buying from other hobbyists.
    It was not ment to offend, just to make clear what went wrong and could be done different with a future purpose.
    The excuse (sorry if it sounds negative) of misinformation by a petshop worker is something you can prefend by firstly reading about what you are going to take care of as supposed to be the best way to start a task like taking care of an animal depending on whoever has to take care of it.
    For people that like to read first, in my opinion there can't be enough of material on how it's supposed to go, so they don't have to rely on someone just willing to sell something.
