I'm sorry for your loss. It always sucks to have a pet die on you, I've been there with my cornuta.
Some tips for the next time you try: Try to avoid touching the frog at all. Simply wiggle the worm with tongs against it's lips. Don't give them too much substrate, you want them to burrow but not too burrow deeply, so you have to dig them out.
Make sure the enclosure isn't too big and tape off 3 sides with jungle background, to reduce stress. Make sure the temperature and humidity are perfect before you place the frog in, this can easely be achieved by bying one of those dial knobs (forgot the English word) so you can turn the heat up and down when the temperature changes alot.
I received a background and a heat controller, so those aren't problems anymore. I have yet to check if the controller is working, though. I usually put two inches of substrate in, since 2-3" is recommended. I don't tong train my frogs, though.

Well, I would advise you too, but only for the reason that nightcrawlers are the best diet for them. They are also cheaper then crickets, and can be obtained easyer from local baitshops.
Also, they seem to eat better when they are tong trained. Some frogs can be really stubborn when it comes to eating, but a little pursuasion from tongs, can quickly conquer that. It also takes away the risk of prey giving them stress or even harming them.
My baby is in about 1.5" of substrate. 2 Should still be fine.
It could be that you just recieved an overstressed baby. I usually dig out my frogs and put them on a nearing piece of substrate before feeding them, however my latest addition, a fantasy frog started showing seriously stress signs when I did this with him.
Eh, I think I'll stick with what I have. I'm going to add dubia roaches into the diet soon, and my frogs are all eating well (except BMO, of course).
