    I would keep the Humidity closer to 80 and the day temp between 75 and 80. Although 70 would be just fine. Its just at a little bit higher temps you may notice better feeding. It sounds like you have an almost perfect set up I wouldn't change anything. If you are feeding meal worms or pretty much any other kind of worms you may want to get a shallow eating dish to avoid it swallowing to much Coco husk but the stuff passes through better then almost anything out there so whether you get one or not you wont have anything to worry about other then the worms burrowing into the bedding.
    good job your frog is going to love its setup.

    Meal worms are not a good feeder for pacs. They have too much chitin and will cause impaction.

    This is very true all though you want a variety of food options for good health. And meal worms and super worms are good for supplemental purposes but don't feed a lot to it. I treat Super worms like i treat mice. They both have high fat content and like DVirginiana said to much will cause impaction.

    70° is not fine for day time temps and is still a little cool for night. Their activity begins to lessen below 75° and if kept at 70° to long the frog may try to aestivate. Of course the frog won't die from 70° temps, but may become ill from stress.

    It is probably adjusting to the cooler temps.
