Somethigns not quite right

[GrifTheGreat]

Ok I went out and got the spring water and did all the necessary steps to help him. He perked up pretty quickly and was jumping around in his bath. I cleaned his enclosure completely and put in new stuff soaked in spring water. He burrowed in pretty quickly which I was pretty happy to see since just the day before he just stayed on top. Should I repeat this procedure if say he dosent seem hungry in a day or so?
Thanks again everybody for all the great advice!

You can repeat as necessary, but you want to keep stress levels low. Tonight just uncover his head so he can see then offer food.

So it has been 2 days since the treatment, and still no interest in food, after work I am going to buy him some crickets to put in his cage and hope they wander by, maybe that will spark some interest. Is there anything else or should we play the wait and see game?

Repeat the baths.

Ok I repeated the bathes and he immediately burrowed himself completely under the substrate, should I just leave him alone for a couple of days? I know they can go a while without food, but Im worried that there might be something else going on. Any suggestions, Grif? Thanks again for taking the time to help me with my little guy!!

He burrowed because the baths are stressful. Let him be for a night and tomorrow night if he doesn't come out just unbury his head so he can see and place some crickets in with him. Break the hind legs off them before placing them in. It makes them easier to catch.

No luck yet, I tried the crickets and let him bury himself for a couple of days, have I just stressed him out way too much? Is he ok to go this long without food, being that he is so young? Thanks again Grif for all your help!!

he is ok without food as long as he doesn't look too skinny, for a 2.5" frog a week off food is ok, he needs to feel safe now, so let him be, offer food but do not touch and see how it goes.
