    They are very local in my area too. Not intending to breed just yet. lol I'm quite the beginner and don't want to overwhelm myself any more than I already have. I'll wait till i'm more experienced. I will take your advice and let them settle in. Thanks!

    Calling and mating behavior is usually triggered by seasonal changes--> warmer weather and rains will set them off calling. In the winter, my male Hyla versicolor calls maybe 50% of the time I mist his cage and just about 100% of the time if I mist his cage when the furnace is kicking in. Shyness does have a lot to do with it though, and if they are still afraid that you are going to eat them they will be reluctant to call with you in sight.

    Playing audio recordings of pacific chorus frogs calling at night will probably help too, I've managed to get a few wild frogs to call with me right next to them by doing my best imitation of their calls. The mating drive can overpower the survival instinct and they can't help but try to outdo a calling neighbour.

    I have a Grey Tree Frog since he was a baby. And at 3 months old I got him to start croacking. I would have him sit on my knee and play Grey Tree Frog calls on youtube. :P it worked wonders. He is now 7 months old and love to croack back to the frogs on youtube. Hoping this spring he will respond to the frogs outside at night. :P
