So long story short, I am on a vacation and my frogs have not eaten in 4-6 days. It is the last day and I am going back home now, but my mother has just informed me that one of them jumped out of the tank. She managed to put it back in, but I have no idea how long he was out or why he did that. Is there any reason for this other than chytrid fungus? He was very hungry, so could that be a reason? He was fine before, and water parameters are fine. Unless my mother accidentally turned the bubble filter and heaters off (that's unlikely though), I don't know why this happened other than food. He showed no signs of chytrid fungus before. Will he make it? And can I still feed him when I get back, or should I wait? Will he try again?

Sometimes they just get a little hop-happy, in my experience. I would recommend putting a lid on the tank. Is he behaving normally apart from the jump?

Yes, he was just fine when I left. I don't know which one jumped, but one of them was shedding when I left too (the sheds were fine, not chytrid sheds). I do have a lid on it, but there is about a cm gap in the back where it goes over the filter and heater plug. I will be putting a cover over that though.
