    Default Question on ADFs

    How long is it before you can tell the genders of each? I have only had each for about two months. The one I think is male shows a more "masculine" body shape, but no pads yet.
    The other is shaped in a completely different matter. More like a pear. Also you can see a tiny little "tail" on her.

    Am I safe to assume I at least have one female? Maybe even a male and female?
    If so is this a bad set up? I don't want to have a frog "love shack" going 24/7, but I suppose I will have to wait and see!

    The only way I know how to tell the sex of a African dwarf frog is when it matures.The mail Will get small pinkish glands behind it's front limbs that's the only indicator I know of.
    These guys are very small and to see nuptial pads would be very difficult.
    I got my DAF's when they would barely cover a dime.
    It was 5 months before they were old enough to show.

    I bought 5 form one pet shop and another 5 from a different shop that uses different breeders.
    With the hopes of getting some genetic diversity.

    I ACTUALLY meant ACFs
    Great job, self

    I'm trying to figure out how to delete this thread and actually make the one I wanted to. If not, just ignore this one.
