    I'll try again tomorrow. It seems to be pretty complacent after a meal so I should be able to get an actual profile pic. It doesn't matter to me whether it is male or female

    If that's not a female I don't know what is.

    Definitely very young but that is probably the most female looking head I've ever seen. Anything can happen but that looks extremely female. You can also tell by the way the eye sits on the head.

    Ive read a lot about sexing them by the location of the Tympanum in relation to the eyes. It honestly doesn't matter to me whether it is male or female. I am only posting these for others enjoyment. I assume female as well, but we shall see.

    I'll be interested to see how it turns out, because it looks so female.

    I agree. It has a miniature adult female like head.

    It was just barely larger than the size of a quarter when I bought it saturday and it has grown 1" in about 5 days. So it has a good growth rate. It eats well over 20-0.5" Dubia nymphs in a single feeding.

    OK let's compare that profile to this one, think they are around same age at time photo's were taken, give or take a few weeks. Do you ladies and gentlemen think they are the same or different sex ?
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    you can't compare them realistically. Not every female looks like every female and the same for male

    This is also true of Pacman frogs. Some females you can tell as babies and others you can't tell until they are at least 3 to 4 months or longer. Depending on growth rate. I guess it's the waiting game!

    These are just some updated growth pics. I've been using this water dish for size comparisons since it is almost always in the dish.

    I give it a varied diet each week. I offer mostly Night Crawler chunks and switch to Dubia nymphs in the middle of the week and end the week by offering Dubia nymphs, Night Crawlers chunks, and Waxworms in the same feeding. Pacman food and Waxworms are a treat.

    I bought this Pyxi from a local pet store here. Not sure whether its WC or CB. I assume CB because of the Frog Ranch being a possible supplier.

    I would not assume it's female (or male) at this point. It is still very early, and it's profile is obviously changing dramatically.

    i really like the idea of feeding 3 differnt foods a week and offring (treats) every few feedings this hase seem to work for you. ive slowed down on useing pacman food as a full time diet im now useing crickits and night Crawler chunks every other day and feeding pacman food once aweek. it seems to be working so far

    agree, but my gut feeling says male
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
