    You have been given good advice. Don't let him out on the floor. Give him the bath - as Lija instructed - to wash off anything that might have gotten on him. I should also mention that they can get dehydrated fairly quickly sitting out on a dry floor.

    Behavior like this is caused by stress. You need to figure out ASAP what is causing the frog to be stressed. Please answer the "Trouble in the Enclosure" questions and post the answers here. I will add that the most common reason they throw fits like this is usually right after they have had a big stinky bowel movement. The substrate being too wet or too old is also a common cause. These frogs can be very sensitive to changes in their environment and get stressed easily. Prolonged stress often causes them to stop eating. Also, if he keeps jumping to get out, he could injure himself - from tank rub to more serious injury. Find the cause of the stress. Please keep us posted.

    Now you'll know what to look for if he does this again.

    Glad you made the right choice and have decided not to allow your frog to roam outside it's enclosure. It will live longer this way.
