Dicamp help needed

[phillyphil67]

Coastal dicamp not eating, I have 36x18x18 tank, coco fiber substrate a fogger and misting system I think the problem is keeping the temperature down. I can’t get it below 65*. I used 2 gel packs to get the temperature down to 61*. But that won’t last. Any help with temperature control would be great. Food choices also. Currently used earthworms trod dubias and chopped snails with no interest

My dicamps will only eat food that moves around. Earthworms are pretty ideal. Crickets work too. They can be a little shy about eating in front of you. Why are you trying to bring the temp below 65F? I can see doing that if the animal is sick or in rough shape but anything below 75F is going to be OK in most circumstances. They also like to swim, a deep water dish with fresh spring water (not tap) will go over well.
