They won't eat if its too hot either. I've had many a thermometer fail and not read correctly. The analog ones wear out quickly. I also have Cranwellis not Ornatas. I will say CONGRATS on the Amazonian. How well does he/she eat for you? When you opened the tank you let heat and humidity out. It could very well as easily have been the cooler temp that sparked the frog to eat just as much as the humidity. They usually will eat with a couple degree drop in temp. I've never had an issue with them not eating with high humidity so I don't believe that's the issue. Its a good idea to have individual gauges for each frog both temp and hygrometer because it keeps you from disturbing them when they sleep and causing stress from making noise and reaching in the tank to check every few hours. Trust me its better and easier. Any disturbance no mater how brief or small can stress them out.
