    It may just be a glare from the glass...but is that a puddle of water in the substrate?

    If frog feels safe under the cork it won't burrow and that is normal and OK. However, if your substrate is waterlogged, that is a problem you have to correct now. The shredded coco should be mixed with dechlorinated water so it's slightly damp and clumps in fist without dripping water out. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    It's not a puddle, and the substrate is not waterlogged! I guess he just has a sufficient hide, and feels secure. Thanks for the reassurance!

    It depends on a frog, some just plain lazy to do it but yes, if they feel safe then less tend to burrow.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
