    Default NZ Brown Tree Frogs Gender

    Hi guys

    I've got 40 brown tree tadpoles that are in the process of changing to frogs.
    I can really only keep about 8-10 frogs in the terrarium I have.

    Long term I would like to breed them (although I know it will be several years before they reach sexual maturity).

    My question is ..... if I picked the first 8-10 tadpoles that changed to frogs.....what are the chances I would have both sexes?
    Would one sex develop faster than another or is it random chance...as I understand it is next to impossible to tell the sex of a frog at this young age.

    Your thoughts & feedback would be appreciated.

    Regards

    Nigel

    I think the chances of you having both sexes is pretty high, I think it's random chance, and just the stronger ones will morph first,
    and do you mean Litoria Ewingii by brown tree frogs? I have about 30 too
    Good Luck,

    I have my 2 fully-frogged brown tree frog boys, which I've had for about 2 yrs, and just got 8 taddys (2 with back-legs, and 6 still very taddy) just a week ago . My boys have been living in a huge aquarium bachalor-pad for a while so thought I'd get them some girlies . So, like you Groovy, I was hoping there was a way to tell the girls from the boys...well, we'll just have to be surprised.
