My buddy's 1.25 pound female makes noises...

[MeMyselfandI]

Congratulations to you!does he have a name?

[Zamboni]

no name yet, but now that I know he's a he it won't be long.....any suggestions??

Can you see nuptial pads on the sides of the thumbs yet?

I'd be cautious- contrary to common belief, females also make noise. Only true way to tell is the pads (or lack of).

Hey Cali,

Females can make noise, but the cannot call(croak). Females can growl/grunt/hiss/scream/and make these little popping clicking sounds. The males can do all of these, BUT can perform the special VERY VERY LOUD mating call. The mating call is unmistakable in comparison to the rest of the sounds they make. Even though females can perform these other sounds. They are almost always quiet. The clicking popping sounds are faint and can be loud enough to hear and are a very common sound they make. Usually these sounds. Looked over because they are so faint.

When it comes to calling though, its unmistakable .

He's awesome!! Loving the pattern on him.

[toxxxickitten]

He is very pretty. I love his little green patterning on his back.

Believe me cali, once you've heard a male calling, you could never mistake it for any of the female vocalizations!!

I'm just very cautious when it comes to premature labelling. I personally would not want to purchase a male for breeding if the only gender-specific trait that had been noted was a croak.

I'm confused. If the frog croaks its a definate male. No need to see nuptual pads. Nuptual pads show up only when the male frog has reached full sexual maturity. They can start calling before the pads even show. So that is a specific and perfect identifying sign of a male. There would be no need for any other evidence.

It just leaves the 'croak' to be defined by the individual. ChrisK may very well be educated on and familiar with male sounds, I don't know I've never met the guy. But his post runs parallel to my friends statement of "I heard it so it must be a male".

Go on youtube. Type in Pacman frogs breeding. You will hear the males croak. Then you will understand what everyone is saying.

I understand what you're saying now. It is very easy to get them to call though. If you play Pacman frog calls and you have a male he will respond back to the males or in my case Loki will call if he hears me talking as long as I'm not where I can catch him doing it. Sneaky boy .

[mikesfrogs]

My males will stop calling too if you see them.lol I hate it because i am trying to get a video of them.

Sometimes ill see him with is vocal sac puffec up half way preparing to call, but he won't infront of me. I really want a video or picture of him in the act too. Its so hard to catch them.

Pacman Mating Calls - YouTube

[RibbitSrUs]

Theres a video on this forums somewhere of a bunch of cornutas from japan that are non stop calling. I cant seem to find it, maybe someone has it saved somewhere

It's so funny when people argue just to argue. If you want to do that then please get a MySpace profile like my 13 year old cousin and argue with her. but this isn't the place and it's really getting old. Congrats, it's always cool to hear them call. it really brings life to them!

I'm confused......who is arguing? I know that people who have never heard the males actually calling can get confused. We happen to have footage of our Males going to town doing their Pavarotti impersonations.........so we posted a link to it so they know without a doubt what it sounds like. Where is the argument in that?
