    I have 4 males housed together without any issues. You should be fine. I'd say your tank (which works out to be 15 gallons) is just barely adequate for 3 of them, less so when they get to adult size. Remember, more room is always recommended. I have mine in a 20 gallon vertical and all they do during the night is climb the sides and nose up against the ceiling, looking for a way out. It also depends on how your vivarium is designed. More branches, ledges and plants filling the airspace inside provides more surface area than a bare tank.

    As for the calling, one of my males started "practice calling" at about 3 months out of the water. It sounded like a chicken with laryngitis. That was 2 months ago. Now it has a proper, trilling call and it does so quite often. And yes, they can be triggered by other noise.

    There's a thread somewhere on here about them calling in response to various audio stimuli, such as people's voices, music, etc.

    They can reach maturity in as little as a year, though females usually take a bit longer.

    I personally think that your terrarium would be to small for 3 barely adequate for 2. I have been told numerous times on here to try and go by this simple rule.

    1 frog per 10 gallons. Now greys are smaller so 2 might be ok but not recommended... but definately too small for 3.

    But I must agree the way you decorate and set up your frogs home is a huge factor... perches, branches, hideing spots, all help.
