Is my house too cold for poison dart frogs?
I have some babies that a friend is allowing me to raise, they are nearly two months old (I have had them since they were tadpoles) and they have been thriving until now. The weather has turned cold in the past few days and I have an old, cold house. In the winter my house is usually 60 at night and 65-67 in the day. The first night it got cold was Saturday and the frogs have been sluggish since then, and not eating well. (They generally look for fruit flies whenever they see me and eat an amazing number of them.)
I can't afford to keep my house much warmer and I'm wondering if I need to get these babies back to their owner. Or if there is any way to keep them healthy here,
Thanks.
