    My Kermit, who is definitely a girl, did call several times in the 6 months to 1 year old range, but hasn't since reaching maturity. And from the photo yours looks similar to mine at that age.

    We have already gone over the possibility of you starting a dubia colony. You could do a cricket colony cheaper and faster, but it's a lot of maintenance and a bit stinky, but I would deal with it before getting rid of my frogs.

    My recommendation would be to get a dubia colony going. $100 initial investment in bugs and setup, maybe $5 a month to feed them, and I now have more bugs than my 6 frogs can eat.

    Well, hopefully ill be able to keep him/her and find out the gender myself someday.

    Anyway, I bought some Dubia a while ago, but fed them off recently when I ran out of worms. If I can get everything worked out, a roach colony is definitely the plan.
    Would crickets really breed that much faster? I'm really hoping to get myself a job as quick as possible, so I don't have to worry about how fast they breed.

    Iv at least bought myself some time, so hopefully I can forget about rehoming right now and just focus on other things.
    The last thing I want to do is get rid of my frog.

    Yes, crickets reproduce many times faster than dubias. Their lifecycle is only about 3 months, and each female will produce hundreds, if not thousands of eggs. With 30 large from the pet store and the proper conditions, you would have an endless supply of crickets in about a month. Main problem though is that conditions must be ideal, they are stinky, messy, constantly get escapees, make noise, etc. If you are out of work and have the time to do maintenance every day or two, it's probably a good bet. You could also do that in the interim while you wait for your dubia colony to get established.
