According to our man Kurt, 81 is a little on the low end. He has 85 in his article for Day time temperature.

Nice setup btw.

Has the frog had a fecal float done? Maybe she has gastrointestinal parasites. Or maybe she just has food preferences, though most frogs don't.

Also, 81 F isn't bad. These frogs range over most of Australia and New Guinea and can be found in many kinds of eco-systems, from tropical rainforest, to blistering deserts, to temperate forests of Southeastern Australia. Mine seem to do fine in the mid to upper seventies.

I bumped it up yesterday to 83 degrees, still with a 10 F night drop. Perhaps it will go as high as 85.

The vet said she found some minute amounts of fauna in the stool sample, but I don't remember what type. However, she said that these were typical and not a concern. Maybe I can go back and read the report again.

Thanks for the tips!

The fauna is most likely worms or protazoa, both parasites. If the frog becomes overly stressed or sick, its parasites can bloom. I try to keep my animals parasite free.
