    60% is on the low end I feel. Try bumping it up to 80% and maybe add a UTH (placed on the side) for an extra few degrees. 80 is usually fine but maybe your frog will be more comfortable in the 84/85 range. You have a water bowl that you change daily as well? And your misting with spring water or treated tap water?

    Edit: I see you mentioned distilled water for misting. You are not using for the water dish as well are you? That can suck vitamins right from the frog and be harmful, even fatal.

    He is probably dehydrated and malnourished from not eating for a while. I recommend going out and buying some UNFLAVORED PEDIALYTE. Prepare a bath with the Pedialyte at a 10 to 1 ratio. So for every 10 ounces of de-de-chlorinated water add 1 ounce of unflavored Pedialyte. Make sure the water is Luke warm and no deeper than up to his chin. Soak for 20 minutes. This will help hydrate him. Perform this bath daily for at least a week.

    I'm very sorry for your loss. He probably tried to aestivate(dry season dormancy period) and was too young to do so. Many complications can arise if the frog is too young to preform this task when conditions are not correct and the animal hasn't enough fat stores and poorly hydrated.

    In the future just so you know what water to use it should be either natural spring water or tap water treated with a de-chlorinating agent like Prime or Repti-Safe.

    Once again I'm very sorry.
