    Yes i do haave a plant in there, a silk one, also some bark & a stone.
    The humidity is now a bit lower, 88%, hope thats a bit better, he isn't under the substrate, he is under the leaves of the plant.

    Yes a humidity of 90% will cause water buidup issues under the substrate. You'll have to change it more often. You need a background on the back and both sides of the tank to make him/her feel more secure. Your substrate may be too wet in which case you Pac won't want to burrow in it. If its muddy then you'll have to change it. The rule of thumb is moist not mud. They don't like it if the conditions are too wet. This might explain your humidity problem as well. You probably need to put new substrate in there or you can remove handfuls of it at a time and ring it ou then put it back. Also are you using a spring water that is from a true spring? If it doesn't say where its from it might not be real and still have some cicals in it. Their bathing water must be pure spring water or de-chlorinated tap water. Are you using a day time basking light? Using one with a lamp that has a dimmer switch can allow you to easily control light and heat within the enclosure. Also the light will burn off some of the humidity and dry the substrate a little. Keep us posted.

    Before I forget. Try crickets of proper size and remove the hind legs so they are easier for your frog to catch. Don't forget to dust your frogs food with calcium dust with D3 every other feeding and once a week with a multivitamin.
