Sorry it took so long to answer your question - we have a new "No post left behind" feature though so we can find posts like this:
Depends on how much you feed, the quality of the diet and how warm you keep the frog. These frogs can reach adult size in 6 months under the right conditions, but most within a year or so.
I recommend nightcrawler earthworms as the main component of the diet. They're a great staple food, though you may have to cut big ones in two for younger frogs. Other dietary possibilities include crockroaches (captive cultured, not wild ones), silkworms, hornworms, waxworms (a favourite), mealworms and superworms, and the occasional treat of a pinkie mouse (perhaps once every couple of months).
The jumping part, no, but it sounds like he's looking for cover. Does he have a decent substrate (such as an inch or two of coconut fibre) in which to burrow? Perhaps give him some leaf litter to help him feel more secure?
