I can't seem to find the right answer to this question. some people say they don't need heat and others do. the rep shop I brought them from said they don't and the guy keeps them himself but my tank is not even registering 21degrees going to move it to the other side of room next to my aquarium to see if it's warmer. Any ideas and if they do need heat what type? They are not really eating at mo so somethings not right. But I've had them 3 months without any problems.

I have never expierienced tree frogs of any kind, so my answer could be way off
But to me, in there natural environment they are living in the rainforest where there natural environment is very humid and warm, so to me they should be kept at temperatures at at least 25 degrees
I may be completely wrong, but that's my opinion
