    Sounds like you have females. I have three females, two adults and one juvenile. Very randomly and sporadically I will hear squawks and sometimes calls that sound like a male "wok wok wok" and there are never patterns when and how long they call for. The females will call when annoyed from what I've read online or when responding to a male. Also like u said the female throats do not ballon up like the males. My two adults clearly have no thumb pads but again will still call when they feel the time is right. My boyfriend came home last night and said my smallest Misty, who is still in a ten gal quarantine tank was croaking and he sprayed her with some water and she stopped. Sometimes I think they are trying to tell us something and other times I think it's just a personality trait. I had a male for a short time who will call every night around the same time, thorough out the night as well and also in the morning when he saw me walk by his tank. He was about two inches long and had thumb pads and ballooned throat. He would call consistently unlike my females.

    Well I guess I do have females, because this almost describes them exactly! The calls and sounds are very random. It seems they are either annoyed, hungry, or they just want to talk lol. They often will croak at the water bottle, and then it usually results with a frog trying to eat the nozzle... I picked up one very obvious male (see thread "Olive!") whom I thought was female because of his size, but then I looked at his thumbs and there is no way he's a girl. No croaking yet, he just sleeps day and night. Very stressed after only two days! But he did soak in his dish and take a poop, so I'm satisfied.
