Frogs cold, urgent

[Wormwood]

70-73 is fine, no reason at all to be concerned.

Just because a frog/toad doesn't eat doesn't mean he's sick after a little cold snap, now if he/she doesn't eat for a week or two and starts getting skinny then something is up.

just tape it on the side, wide shipping tape is good. An old heating pad is better than a new one. The old ones don't have an automatic shut off.

thanks so much, i feel a bit better now
i will keep an eye on the "odd" one...although its kinda hard when they all look alike lol

is their any medicine i can buy over counter? or at a petshop? that i should keep on hand just in case something were to happen?

The fact remains that human heat pads are not designed to be left on 24/7 (or anywhere even close). Using them in the manner brings an increased risk of fire. IMHO its not worth the risk to save a few dollars

Use the ones designed for pets that attach to the tank.
