Pacific Chorus Frog

The care article indicates that they are social. I recently found one of these, and took it home. It seems to have adjusted well and rapidly. I was curious if 'social' means that that it is preferable to keep them groups, rather than in isolation. Thanks.

At what age can these guys be sexed?

Depends on how fast they mature, which will vary depending on their conditions, and how often/how much they are fed. Also, this species is sometimes challenging to sex and is best done by comparing mature adults (they should mature by 2 years old in captivity).

They're not social animals.

My tadpoles from last year all matured in less than a year and layed eggs this winter....now their tapoles are in my little pond in my yard....most have 2 legs now....the males are still croaking at night too.....I had one this saturday croaking in the daytime all day...that was weird.
