Hi, I have a butterfly horned frog that is very active for some reason. This is a sign of good health, which is good. However, he is constantly banging himself against the plexiglass and for the first time he hurt his nose a few days ago.

It's only a small abrasion, it should be fine. However, I can't stop him from jumping all over the place! At first he was jumping so high he was hitting the ceiling. The aquarium has a lid that has a transparent latch. I covered the latch up with toilet paper and then he started banging against the sides of the aquarium. So I covered basically ALL the transparent parts of the aquarium but I still hear bang bang bang all the time.

Over the past days, I have tried giving him a taller tank so he can't hit the roof, he still jumped at the walls. I have tried feeding him more food but he wouldn't sit still. I gave him a bigger tank as well, and I tried a smaller tank also. Still same thing. I am not new to horned frogs and all my others would just sit there all day all fat and lazy and I don't know what the heck is with this guy. What can I do?
