    I think that once you get the little one into the proper temps and humidity along with
    a enclosure that has at least 5cm of eco-earth that has been properly hydrated.
    the best method I have found is to put the dry eco-earth in a container add treated tap water ( treated with a product similar to sachem prime. following its instructions.)
    then grabbing a handful and squeezing out the water until it just drips from your hand.
    and place that hand full in the enclosure until you get 5cm deep of the eco-earth.

    and a small water dish that it can get in and out of.
    this dish should be filled and cleaned each day with the same treated tap water.

    a small fake silk or plastic plant should be placed into the enclosure to act as a hide.
    in addition to the plant 3 sides of the enclosure should be coved with dark paper or aquarium background to
    help lessen the stress on the little frog.

    Where you keep the enclosure is also important.
    you want to keep it in a area that is not near a air conditioning vent. that will cause swings in the temperature.
    also you want to place it in a low traffic area that is quiet.

    and you need to keep the temperature during the day around 82-84F and at night 77F to 80F

    The size of enclosure is also important.
    when your frog is this small it can get stressed out in a large enclosure so a small critter keeper or breeder box
    is good until the frog gets to 3 in snout to vent.

    I really think that once you get its living conditions sorted out it will be just fine.

    Welcome to the forum and to the hobby.
    Caio.

    He is ok for now.
    I will agree that you need to give it some time to get settled in and relaxed in its new home.

    A day or so is good.
    then offer a medium sized cricket.

    Here is a good care info sheet.

    Cover 3 sides of that keeper with some sort of dark background. He is stressed and does not feel secure.
