My frog croaked! is it a boy?

[MyKindOfLullaby]

Hello, i've read some people say girls croak also, is this true? My bullfrog isn't 4 inches yet but I'm curious if the croaking Tells us anything. It wasn't a squeeky noise, but more of a tiny croak.

What kind of bully is it?

[MyKindOfLullaby]

He's a giant african bullfrog.

[Lija]

you gotta post pic of him, so we confirm that as well as try to sex him/her. girls can also produce sounds, but different from males.

my female makes noise. she sounds like a sick cow...hehe

[Lija]

lol if my makes any noises it is growling and it happen only if nobody giving her food after she begs for it lol
we're away right now, the girl, who is looking after our zoo, panicked yesterday, apparently my girly was jumping on her ( glass separating them) all puffed out and was growing all the time. would die to see it, she must have been very hungry. I told her to give some nice worms today.

Lija covered you. Pictures will help. Take pictures in front of the frog, above the frog and try to see if there are nuptial pads.

[MyKindOfLullaby]

I can post pictures no problem, but it isn't 4 inches yet. Does that matter? It croaked again last night, cutest sound ever haha.
EDIT: yes, my little frog has nuptial pads. What does this mean?

[GRABibus]

If you know how to find nuptial pads, you may know what it means.
It's a male according to what you say.
Post pictures please, we want to see him !

[MyKindOfLullaby]

Okay, I took a ton of pictures because usually I see people dont take enough to determine the sex, so sorry for the picture heavy-ness! haha







Here's the bluish grey coloring on his little butt.







And here's a picture I took just to show how bumpy he is

It's a male. =)

[MyKindOfLullaby]

I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! Haha thank you for the help! Also, I went to a local reptile place and they're very good with reptiles. They told me that females get bigger than the males. This is definitely wrong, isn't it?

[SCF]

That is definitely wrong. ABF's are sexually dimorphic with the male being larger than the female. I posted this link in another thread, but it's worth posting again. Notice the male in amplexus with a female getting bull dozed by another male, it does not even let go, lol!

Maybe they make confusion with pacman frogs.

[MyKindOfLullaby]
