Aestivation is extremely stressful and in most cases results in death of very young frogs. In the wild they do aestivate well before reaching adulthood, but in captivity it can be difficult to replicate the necessary conditions and if the conditions are not right the either dies or suffers some kind of trauma. Almost like the frog is in a perminant state between aestivation and being awake. Very sluggish behavior and almost no appetite.

That is not the case here. I'm afraid that this may be a case of the frog being unable to thrive, but I've seen some runts or stunted frogs live decent lives. 1 year for a very stunted frog is actually good. I just cannot pinpoint what the problem may be so I offered a bath to provide energy, hydration, and nutrients to try and give the frog and energy boost so that it may start to eat again.
