What's wrong with my tomato frog?

[Bombina Bob]

Ive had a tomato frog (Bob) for about two weeks and he has not eaten for about a week, ive really
become nervous and he's always hiding in his log hide, he's in a 10 gallon with eco earth substrate,
dose he need high temps? my house is about 21 degrees Celcius, is this too cold for him?

Help is greatly appreciated

Your frog is kept too cool. The temperature should range between 74-80(F), 23-26(C).

Thank you very much! your help is greatly
appreciated,what is the best way to keep the
tank heated properly? i have a gravel layer
underneath the eco earth.

You can heat the tank with an UTH (Under Tank Heater) placed on one side of the tank, (never the bottom) and/or by using a heat lamp with a dimmer in the cord. Use only a 50watt or less red bulb or ceramic heater bulb (they are black and flat). This way you can adjust the amount of heat accordingly.

Their houses can be set-up very similar to a pacman frog's.

I have a ceramic heater at 50 watts now

You can add the UTH heater pad to a side wall too. It should increase it a bit more for you.

Do you have any photos of his home?

Right here, i now understand its normal for microhylids to hide
during the day. but i feed him before i hit the sack now if that helps

His house looks nice.

Cover the back and 2 sides of the outside of his glass with some type of backgrounds to make him feel secure.

How is the temp in the tank now?

[Bombina Bob]

the highest the temperature has been is 28 and the lowest was 24, i keep the tank
around 20 at night, all the sides except the front are covered and humidity is very good.
