    Dead frogs generally don’t respond and go limp. If it’s completely unresponsive I’d say odds are it has gone to frog heaven. Even during estivation they will occasionally move a bit,

    He’s not limp, he’s solid and there’s like a crinkly noise when I touch him...probably means the same thing though

    You should never let a frog aestivate, unless you know what you are doing and prepare him accordingly. You should monitor humidity and temps and keep them where they need to be throuout the year. They do sleep, but is not actual aestivation.
    i suggest you make sure your husbandry of correct, as for frog - place him in a warm water bath, not too deep, just enough for him to sit with so the head is not submerged. He should perk out.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
