Is my frog sick?

[Goldiesue]

Hello, I think my little frog may be sick but not sure, I don't know if they go through a change or something. but he was fat and healthy a week ago but now he is visibly skinnier and stays buried under the moss, he doesn't seem to be eating or getting in his water dish, he is usually attacking his food as soon as the crickets start moving but he will let them crawl on him now, I have had him for about a year and raised him from a tadpole. he is in a 20 or 25 gal terrarium, I mist it twice a day. pleas any help is appreciated as I really don't know much about frogs, I just did it so my Grandsons could watch and learn about tadpoles to frogs, which has been a great and fun project for us. I love this little guy and want to help him survive Thanks Goldie

he is in a 20 or 25 gal terrarium, it has dirt and real moss, I have had him for about a year, raised him from a tadpole, I think he's a tree frog, the terrarium has always been at room temp, and I mist it twice a day. he mostly eats crickets and flightless fruit flies. I don't know when the last time he ate was although there are crickets in there now, but he mainly stays buried under the moss which is unusual for him. I change his water pool about every 3 days, he is never handled except when I clean his home.
