Yes, Hopsin is definitely a female. She's in the room I sleep in and i only ever hear her when she's hopping around at night.

Male Rana aurora will be around 3.5 inches top with visible nuptial pads. You guys are right that this individual is definitely a female. Northern red-legged frogs are powerful jumpers and are very active at night, so a larger enclosure (20 Gallon+) should be provided for one individual frog, especially for a female. Never house this frog with another individual in the same tank. Otherwise you risk disease transmission. Like all wild-caught frogs, Rana aurora can carry chytrid and these guys can do it asymptomatically, so just keep that in mind.
Very nice frog, congrats DFM!
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Hopsin gave me a bit of a scare recently, but some pedialite and a quarrantine for a few days while her enclosure was redone did the trick. She is one hell of a resilient frog thats for sure. I couldnt afford any meds or a vet, and im certain that it was a bacterial infection, but she pulled out of it and last night she was very active chasing crickets all over the enclosure![]()
