Ah, he's cute. I can't quite tell if that's an american green treefrog, Hyla cinerea. Or a white's treefrog, Litoria caerulea. Does he have a white stripe going down his side?
Either way, he'll appreciate more height and climbing space in his house. You could either stand that tank on end, or purchase a taller tank. It will do for now...
If it's a white's treefrog (no strip down the side), he'll want a bit more heat during the day, up to 28c, and then a bit cooler at night. Your room temp would be good for night temp. There are many different ways to heat the enclosure. Bulbs, pads, ceramic heat emitters, etc.
What water source are you using? If using tap (that's what I use), you'll want to treat with a water de-chlorinator that also neutralizes heavy metals. It's even a good idea to use it if using bottled water, even spring water. Do not use distilled water, except for misting.
You're hubby is so cute, mine doesn't want anything to do with the frogs, silly. The gut loading foods your using are great, but you still want to dust with a calcium powder and a multi-vitamin powder. Carlos (mentat) has a good schedule I'll try to find and post the link for you... It's very important as frogs in captivity are prone to calcium deficiency and can get a disease called MBD (metabolic bone disease), which is very painful and debilitating.
My biggest recommendations would be to move the enclosure to a quiet area (noise stresses them out), and cover 3 sides of the tank with brown paper or a towel. This will help the frog feel more secure. Also, try not to invade the space too much by poking around in the enclosure (not saying you do), and absolutely no handling at all unless necessary, and don't let the kiddos play with him (again, not saying you do). He'll get more comfy in his new home eventually, and get used to the sounds, etc. He jsut needs a little more time. And when you can, get a taller enclosure or convert your current one so it's tall.
I personally don't like plastic plants, they have sharp points that can cause scratches or punctures. But if you do use them (many do), take a file and file down any sharp points, and be sure no wires are poking through the stems.
And feed at night right before lights out, he'll hunt when it's dark. Try to get him on a 12 hour consistent cycle of 12 hour light, and 12 hour dark.
Have fun! He's so so cute!
EDIT: Hi again, just re-read your post and saw you don't handle, great!
Also thought I'd mention that at some point you might want to do a false bottom (gravel or clay balls, screen, then the coco soil), this allows excess water to drain below and allows for fewer cage cleanings. If you have no false bottom you'll want to change the soil about once per month (or when it starts to stink), and daily pick up the poop (which looks kind of like big black pieces of rice), as he gets bigger his poop will be more visible...
