    60 is a minimum in my opinion for these frogs. If it fluctuates a lot then that's not very helpful. What kind of terrarium do you keep them in that has so much air flow as to allow this fluctuation?

    A few days ago my boyfriend bought this tank to keep them in.


    I haven't had it long enough to see how much the humidity changes. I have only sprayed it once today and it has stayed about the same.
    Before they were kept in 29 gallon tank with a screen top that was really hard to keep the humidity high at all.

    You could block part of the lid to help keep more moisture in.

    I am just going to chime in and state my experiences with frogs that soak all the time in their water bowls.
    I had a blue poison dart frog that once ate a bunch of been weevils in one sitting. He/she then sat in his/her water bowl for the next 48 hours, then died. I figured it might of died from impaction and it was trying to loosen up it's bowel by soaking in the bowl. I know many reptiles will relax when soaking in water and then poop. I believe amphibians do as well. I am constantly having to clean water bowls out in my Microhylid cages, they are for ever soaking and pooping in the water.
    Recently, my hatchet-faced treefrog starting eating, I bought it way back in April. I thought it would've died by now. Up untill recently it was always soaking. Now that it is eating it doesn't appear to soak as much. I really don't know what to make of this.

    I thought that I had read that you could help a frog get through impaction if they were bathed in (slightly) warm water. So as paranoid as I was my first month with my male WTF I started giving him a warm bath every week to help him out... and yes he usually takes a poop afterwards. I continue to do this as it's kind of a habit now. I did noticed however that he will sit in his water everynight after dinner. Sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes an hour, but on nights he gets his special warm bath, he doesn't go near his pond and usually stays up high away from moist areas.

    My big eyed tree frogs poo almost exclusively in their water bowls, these days. I've come to think of it as a soggy litterbox.

    Thank you guys for that information
    When I cleaned out the water dish after she was sitting in there for the 2 days I noticed that she had pooped a lot in there, and she did sit in there after she ate almost 10 crickets.
    I guess I didn't think that's what it could be or maybe I was just really hoping for little frog babies , but now it makes complete sense.
    She still does soak in there a lot, at least a couple times a day, but maybe she just enjoys relaxing in the water.
    At first I wasn't sure what to think of it, that is why I came on here to ask :]
