New Chubby Frog Not Coming Out?

[Beekeepe]

New frog owner here. I got a chubby frog for my first frog since I heard that they're hardy, they're adorable, and the conditions of my room seemed convenient (Humid, kept at around 75 degrees, lots of natural light, and I dim the lights at a consistent time every night.)

My frog has buried himself in the coco fiber substrate, and hasn't come out since I got him. That was two days ago...

I knew that this species stays burrowed most of the time, but how do I feed him if he's always buried in the dirt? I always check at night since I know chubby frogs are nocturnal. I've tried misting the tank to see if the sound of water in the dish makes him come out, but no dice.

Should I be worried?? Is he stressed? The bottom of the tank is glass, so I can see that he's still breathing, but I don't want him to starve!

Ok, so, I tried to unbury him and put some mealworms to his mouth, and he seemed to freak out and get scared... I don't know what to do if he won't eat... everything says to feed them every two days, but I don't know how to try and get him to eat without scaring him. Maybe he will like crickets better?

Please, if anyone has any advice, I'm really worried...

Good news! Today, When I went to check the tank, I found my little friend like this:



I gave him about six crickets, and he ate all of them!
