The photos are a bit blurry, but I've raised gray tree frogs from the tadpole stage. Yours don't seem to have toe pads which are characteristic of tree frogs. Do your frogs climb the glass walls of your enclosure? They also look to have prominent parotoid glands which is toad anatomy.
This is what a gray tree froglet looks like.

Ya I don't know why the photos are blurry, its on a 1080p phone camera. I'll try to take better pictures when I can. No they don't climb the glass walls but I've seen one climbing the wooden log I have in their that's in the second image. Are all gray tree froglets green? Or can they be the brownish color of mine.
Majority are green, but they are sometimes gray. Tree frogs are arboreal, they like to be as high as possible and will "suction" themselves to the enclosure walls. As they age, gray tree frogs become bumpy in texture, but do not have single raised bumps (warts) like yours do. Perhaps an identification guide can better convince you. Alternatively, a simple google search of "baby tree frog" versus "baby toad" will reveal yours doesn't share many similarities with the former.
Hoping you get your second opinion!

I think you are right. Sorry about wanting another opinion so badly, I just know that we have gray tree frogs here because I caught one here before. Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it. If you don't mind I have a question. What size tank do I need for these guys? Knowing they are like to stay low more I know I need to get them into coco fiber, and to get them a few more hides probably, but I am not sure of the tank size. They are currently in a 12 x 12 x 18 tank (lxwxh). I was looking into getting them a 18 x 18 x 24 tank, but now I don't know. Thank you again for the help!
At this stage they don't need very much space. You currently have them in an 11 gallon tall tank but because toads are terrestrial they're going to need more ground space versus height, I'd suggest a regular 10 gallon aquarium (20x10x12). If you plan to keep them, you're going to need at least 5-10 gallons per toad as adults. I highly suggest reading the care guides I linked above, the last one is specific to toadlet care. I can't say for certain whether you have american or fowler's toads but the care is virtually identical.

Thank you so much. I got them a 15 gallon tank which I hope isn't too big for them, and a new hide for them to hide in. I took better pictures of them ( I think anyway) so ill post them in a bit.
Oh and I did read your care sheets and am trying to follow them. Thanks again!
One last question (im so sorry lol) but do toads hop? Someone told me that toads tend to walk more and frogs hop, but mine seem to be doing both. And I have seen two of them burrow, which i know is common of american toads.
