New White's Treefrog

I named her Minnie. Mikki and Minnie.

Cute. How do you know it's female?

I've had them for a while, and they don't sing.

I'm pretty sure Luigi is a male, but I'm so confused about the other one. Everything I look up says things like, "females get to a larger size" or "males have a slightly darker throat."

[scribbles]

I don't believe that is true about the darker throat. Females are larger than males, and mine are pretty large!

Do you happen to know when their breeding time is? I remember seeing somewhere that the males will have darker brown pads on their feet during breeding time, and a few days ago Luigi's looked very dark. And he's been croaking so much lately, but that could be because he loves his new bigger home. But I'm curious if it was their breeding time, then if he didn't do anything with the other frog, could that be an indicator that they're both male?

Breeding season is the summer rainy season, and I'm not sure if that could be an indicator of two males. White's can be difficult to sex. While females are larger than males, White's from different areas are different sizes.

Well, it is spring time in the southern hemisphere. So it is possible breeding time is now, but I can't say for sure. I have never bred them and really at this time have no intention of doing so.
