One of my frogs is .... barking?

[InfinitysDaughter]

I have a whites and an american green and I'm 99.9% sure there both girls (both have pure white bellies). But early this morning I heard this....barking is the only way to describe it. Like the bark of an ankle bitter dog yaknow? Like a yipping almost. At first I thought it was a squirrel outside my window and thought nothing of it. But I just heard it again and I know it came from the vicinity of the two tanks but when I got up to look it stopped so I dont know which tank it came from. Even stranger, the two are usually fast asleep by this time of day. @.@

I tried playing both green and white calls but couldn't entice them to make the sound again.


Anyone have any insight? Maybe know which one is making the noise? Cuse it dosn't sound like the calls I've found on youtube so I cant really tell which one it is.

I am not sure what a greens call sounds like but when my Whites male starts to croak he sounds like a dog barking, which then entices the dog to start growling at the tank. He is a rather vocal fella. His throat was white when he first started calling but now a few months later his throat is a dark brown color. Hope that helps.

Yeah I think it might be your Whites too
Mine kind of sound a bit dog-like too, my cats get so confused about it haha.

Awwww. I was sorta happy to think I had a girl whites. Oh well. At least, technically, Azriel is a male name. >w>

Thanks for the input! <3

never had a whites, but my american greens sound like...wok WOK WOK wok WOK wok wok..more like a goose than a dog.

My bet goes on the American Green. I thought there was an angry squirrel outside...it was my American Green. Their pitch may change with each call...now they are a little higher than before...sometimes a yapping dog, other times a goose going through peuberty. So congratulations on making a frog happy enough to call
Try misting the tank...they often call right after misting...or in my case during fogging. Also look at their throats right after calling...the one with the inflated or semi inflated throat will be the one that was calling.
I have 2 American Green tree frogs...I thought one was a male and another a female until both were calling.
The gray I have has a whole different sound.
