    Default Sally croaking?

    Sally has begun to croak when I spray the cage down. Not a male bark-like croak, just little quiet croaks. She only does his when I spray the cage, has been going on for about a week now. Any opinions as to why she is doing this? Nothing has changed in the enclosure.

    If Sally is truly a female. She could be makimg distress calls.
    She might be frightened
    Be certain she is NOT accidentally hit with the 'spray'
    If this sound is heard more often; then you may have a 'Sal' not a 'Sally'

    My guys love to be directly sprayed, but I have a very fine mist sprayer for plants so it's soft and not a harsh spray. sHEila would really get going most of the time when I sprayed down his tank. Conversely neither Honey-Lime or Jelly Bean (who is indeed a he and not a she) will croak when I mist things. I'm sort of betting on a "Sal" myself.

    Well maybe Sally is not a she! I have always wondered about that. She has always been smaller, while Betty is continuing to grow quite huge! Why would she just start croaking now,after a year of owning them?

    did you get the frogs as babies? They might have been too small to croak then. Is it a series of fast noises (wok-wok-wok), or a single noise, followed by a pause then maybe sometimes another noise? Because the first is a croak.

    It is a single noise with pauses in between.
