    Male on the left, female on the right.

    I would use eco-earth as substrate as well. That looks like miracle grow potting soil, you should replace it as soon as possible. The fertilizer is toxic to your frogs.

    edit: unless im just seeing things and those white dots are something else?

    I don't like how substrate molds, plain soil doesn't mold, and it's a lot cheaper

    I was going to ask their age, but assumed they were the same age. Thank you for clarifying.

    As far as the substrate goes, that "plain" soil contains fertilizer (the little white balls or rocks). Eco-earth is very cheap, I've never experienced it molding. I change substrate every 1-2 months, which most will recommend. Sometimes cheaper is good for you, but not for your animals.

    I believe a few threads down, there is a question regarding substrate, I hope that thread helps you.

    Those little white rocks are probably just pearl-lite, not fertilizer.

    Hello Kar! Those don't look like babies at all. Have you read the care article on ABFs: Frog Forum - African Bullfrog - Pyxicephalus adspersus - Care and Breeding?

    From looking at this picture it appears to me their living quarters are small. That could lead to an accident during feeding. Is that a 3rd frog on the left? Could be pic angle; but it's either puffed, overweight, or swollen. What size tank is that and what is snout to vent (SVL) length for each frog?
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    snout to vent, the one on the far left is about 5 inches. She's about 2 years old. She was mad because I changed the soil out last night and puffed up. I feed them almost exclusively nightcrawlers, with some crickets mixed in with some calcium supplements. Every once in awhile some dubai roaches. The one in the middle is about a year old and 3.5 inches. The one on the right is almost 3 months old. I was wondering at first what was up with the one on the right, because it's almost as big as the one in the middle thats a year old. I'll end up getting another cage, not sure on the size of this one, but its pretty big, almost 4 feet long, but only about 2-2.5 feet in width. I put up a barrier to keep the big one from eating the little ones.
