Aquarium heater is too much trouble? What can I use instead?

Alright so I’m getting African Dwarf Frogs (2) and they need a heater which i have. They will live in a 2 gallon tank and i got a mini heater, but it’s far too much work, like, my lamp is right by their tank and in these instructions it tells me not to put a lamp by the tank. What else could I use instead of the heater to keep them warm during the winter? thanks..

Get a heating pad, or a electric blanket (with a fault interrupter in case it leaks) and wrap the tank.
I personally hate African Dwarves. They killed off all my fish! And then they fouled all my water!
Really your tank is much too small, so upgrading to a 5-10 gallon tank and using a Marineland stealth heater would be ideal.
