Yes he is a baby still about a month and a half old. I scrubed everything good with vinegar and rinsed really well then changed all the substrate. When he was put back in the cage he burried himself completely and didn't eat that night. First day that he didn't eat. The next night he remained in the hole but he dug himself a opening so he could see. I fed him through that and he ate like a pig.
The next night I dug him out and fed him imediately and everything seemed normal.
Also, he seems to be attracted to the heat pad and his skin was nearly 90 degrees when he was sitting up against it. I unplugged it for now cause its started to warm up around here.
All winter it has been 75-80 during the day and 72-75 at night with a humidity of 55%-90%.

Am I doing anything wrong? I felt guilty for digging him out but I knew that he would be calm down once he came out.

Though I'm new to frogs I know that people use vinegar for things like mice and rats who can be very sensitive to the fumes/smells of cleaners. It's similar to using bleach but a bit more safe since it's edible, but surfaces cleaned with vinegar should still be rinsed well until you can't smell it. It's too acidic for bacteria to survive so its a good cleaner, and if it's all rinsed off I would think it's fine for a froggy since people use bleach in frog cages

Ya I got the idea from this forum. I rinse until I cannot smell anymore. The frog was just very stressed I'm guessin, it even made a couple squeak noises it was so upset.

I have to dig my guy out every few days to feed him. He usually squeeks at me and puffs up a bit, within a few minutes he calms down enough to eat. I figure it's better to dig him out than to starve him.
