Sexing a gabf please help

[sjboyle]

Hi all I've had my pixie frog around 5 weeks now he/she is about 2.5" long
Can anybody help on sexing him/her or it may be to early

[chudson05]

im thinking female but she/he is a little to young to sex

[GrifTheGreat]

A little young to sex accurately.

[sjboyle]

Ok thanks you guys I will keep updating photos

[Mentat]

Agree it's still too young; but will go with cute male . Is it eating well and growing around 2.5 - 3.0 cm. per month?

[sjboyle]

It's eaten 2 pinky mice and a tonne of crickets,locusts,lobe worms and a few wax worms since I've had him/her .. very active and aggressive! I will post 3pictures within 5weeks

Can you please post pic from the top and the side.

im not sure yet based on these pics, but seems to be a male.

[sjboyle]

Yeah there you go

[GRABibus]

Last pictures show a female according to me.

How can you tell? What signs tell you best?

[SwimminSteve]

I am not an expert, but to me this frog looks female. I'm basing that on the size of the head compared to the body. If you look at other sexing threads, you will see that in general we make subjective judgments on the size of the head. If the head seems "small" compared to the body (like in your photos) it is most likely a female. If the head seems rather large compared to the body it is possibly a male.
I think the only way to be 100% sure is to wait a while longer to see if your frog ever croaks or continues growing past 5 inches.
Very nice, well-fed looking frog BTW! Do you have enough substrate in there (4-5 inches) for her to completely burrow in? It looks like you have an overhead light on, so she would probably appreciate more opportunities for hiding/shade. Just a thought

[sjboyle]

Yeah there is 6" deep substrate in the tank ... The pictures are a few days after feeding .. he/she burys down for a couple of days and when resurfaced the head looks large compared to the body... I'm not bothered with way on the sex I was just curious that's all... Yeah he/she gets plenty of food and eats like a trooper

[GRABibus]

As swimminSteve, size and shape of the head compared to the body are for me typical of a female.

Im not sure if this is a female. 4 weeks ago you said s/he was 2,5" how big is it now?

[sjboyle]

Hi Lija it's just over 3.25" long now .. I will post a picture tomorrow with a tape for accurate size
