Thread: dwarf or giant? male or female? Please Help!

    Question dwarf or giant? male or female? Please Help!

    I recented bought two pixie frogs and the previous owner told me he doesn't know the sex of these frogs nor does he know if they are dwarves or giants. The first frog (munchy) is about a year and a few months old and has a creamy colored belly and the second frog (fatty) is about 250 days old and has a little more yellow and orange around the belly and throat. The first 3 images are of the same frog (munchy) and the last 3 is of the other frog (fatty). Can someone please help me determine the sex of these frogs and if they are dwarves or giants. Any input would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Agree - looking like females and Giants.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Males have massive and wide head in relationship to the body, they don't retain back middle stripe as adults, they also grow bigger and are more colourful.
    Females - small and narrow head in relationship to the body, clearly visible in 1 and 4 pics ( the top view), they usually retain middle stripe and are not as colourful.
    The middle stripe and the yellow/orange is not reliable, males can have it too, there can be small males and huge females, some frogs are harder to visually sex too, especially when they are younger.

    The most reliable way is sexing is to hear them call.
