Ceramic lamp is really not advised.
It will decrease a lot humidity rate and you will have to be very careful to maintain, at least, your substrate wet.

I think that the ideal solution is a heating cable (With sufficient power to get the right temps) fixed on the sides of the tank.
Then it will decrease less the humidity than a spot and the other advantage is that you can manage temps by plugging the cable on a thermostat.
Then you can give natural light or "Non heating light".

I do this with my pacman frog (50W heating cable in a 30x30x30) and the light is provided through a Reptiglo 2.0 UVB 13W from Exo Terra.

someone can answer me ?

What were the sizes of the mices ?
What is the size and age of your frog ?

If it is a young frog, it's better to feed with crickets, locusts, roaches, nightcrawlers.
Add some calcium dust sometimes and some calcium dust + vit D3 (More rarely for the vit D3, which can be dangerous for the frog if given in too hig quantity).
You can give some little baby mouses also. But insects and nightcrawlers are the best food according to me.

When your frog is adult, you can give adulty mouses.

mice were about 4-5cm (without tale)
i bought my frog 2 months ago...now my frog is about 8cm...

why d3 can be dangerous? what are its negative effects?

[GRABibus]

Too much D3 vit can damaged their digestive systems, especially the kidneys.
But, D3 vit is necessary to help in fixing calcium on bones.

D3 can be brought by UVB also...But usually, we don't give UVB's to our frogs in terrariums.

So, what I do, is that I dust with only calcium 1 insect per week and I dust with calcium + vit D3 1 to 2 insects per month.

Could you post some pictures of your frog ?
