    Default Male or female??

    Hey!

    I thought that i bought a female toad, but it's making that dog sound the whole time. This morning i saw also that it was sitting on another toad. I thought it was female because it was bigger than the other toads. Can you help me??

    Thanks, Brian

    I thought the exact same thing about my toads. They look very similar to yours. I assumed the smaller of the two was the male, and Hugo, being the large one, was female. That was until I found Hugo embracing Hermes and shelling out a mating call.

    From what I hear, the females will make sounds. But if your toad mounts the other one, I think we can be safe to say that it's male.

    I'm not sure I've seen Mercy get on top of Monster before but she never actually grips him as if trying to mate. It's more like he's just sitting there and she wants to be in the same exact spot as he is so gets on top of him until he finally moves and she is victory queen of the random spot.

    Fire bellied toads calling: male on male! - YouTube as u can see if u have 2 males the one being mounted will still make the unmount call but he also will bark normally and they almost sound like they echo eachother at some point. Im positive i have a female cause she makes the unmount call but never ever makes the same mating call as the other frog.

    ok i think it's male judging by the bent thumbs in the last pic, males' nuptial pads seem to give the thumbs that shape
    females only make noise when grabbed and not receptive
    females wont try and engage in amplexus with the others put they still might sit on the others
    if the toad is "Hugging" another toad, it's male

    That made me lol because we have this issue in Sesame Park with the shelf. Ernie likes being King of the Castle and if Bert happen to be in his favourite spot, Ernie will sit on top of him till he moves. No hugging, literally sitting on him to be higher. Makes me laugh every time.
