    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.

    I agree. I don't think males get this big & I never heard her call in the time I owned her, even when I would hear other Rana frogs calling outside.

    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.

    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
