    the reticulated pattern on the frogs makes me think they are dwarves

    Agree with everybody, not giants and very very pretty! Second one is a boy, first one i cant tell from the pic, looks to be a girl.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Heres a few more pics that show there coloring better. Also, are they able to be sexed? I know the bigger one is probably male because of his size and how much yellow he has on his chest and arm area. But I was curious about the little one

    Big dude



    And the little one

    Dwarves. The large eyes and tympanums are a dead give away. As are their patterns.

    The interorbital bar is quite distinct, also a characteristic of a dwarf. BTW, the interorbital bar is the line on top of the head connecting the two eyes. This bar is absent on the giant.

    Nice frogs, like the pattern on the smaller one .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    The first frog with the cream yellow throat could be male. Don't hold me to it.

    I was thinking the bigger one was male. Not sure about the smaller one. Thats why I was hoping for more opinions .
