    It sounds like your frog may be going through a period of estivation. Just make sure you keep fresh water in the tank at all times! I hope this helps!

    Estivation happens either when it is too hot, cold, or dry. It just depends, it will eventually come out Does it look like it is incased in plastic? If you could show a pic that would be great
