If the toilet bowl won’t fill up in this below zero weather, what is the problem?

Aimee,
What's it look like inside the tank? Water or ice?

You had better get I light bulb out there or you could loose the toilet if you have not already .
You need some heat not a flame .

Maybe the gravity won't let the water flow uphill.

It’s not an outhouse, but it sure feels like one when it’s below zero.
The bathroom is not part of the original cabin and does not have heat. The sink and toilet froze during the night, shower was fine…by the time I got home everything worked fine.I've been told to let the faucet drip when the temps are so low, but what's the best way to prevent the toilet from freezing again?
Thanks!

100 watt light bulb under the tank, make sure it does not sit on any thing that can burn .
. Try a pot on top of a fry pan .

Pot on a fry pan? Light bulb on the floor?

No pot and pan on floor bulb inside pot so it does not start a fire on the floor.

Woohoo! 
Medium thank you.
Infarred bulbs work great too.
Besure to wrap the pipes in any unheated area. First with heat cable then with insulation.
In a pinch, a fish tank heater in the tank can work well but be sure it is positioned away from moving parts such as the flapper, float arm, and flush handle. Also you will have to secure it better than it would normaly be in a fish tank.
