On Day 5, you state "its vocal sacs appeared to be swollen", my toads do this just before they croak, so perhaps your Wood Frog was about to call, but is it possible that you may of startled it?

Great Expariment Autumn!

Definitely keep us updated!

Thank you! Haha yes, that is a definitely a possibility….. I have observed this too with previous Wood frogs that I have had and with Wood frogs in the wild .

Maybe you could use a video camera instead of actually being there so they feel more secure?

Actually, I do use a video camera in addition to a sound senor recorder. I only observe the moring trials (from 11:00am to 12:00pm) and record the experiment via these devices. However, I try to stay away from the set up as much as possible to reduce stress. The only times I am near the experimental set-up is when I need to restart the Wood frog vocalization CD or when I need to check on a few small details.

For the night trials (10:00pm to 12:00am) I soley rely on these devices to record the experiment ;P.

Hmm, well, all you can do now is... do the experiment again!

Haha, totally! Now I just have to first finish Test A with the other 3 frogs.

In about an hour and a half I'm going to run Test A with frog 5 (Lil' Piggy). We'll see how this one goes ;D!
