What up with their chin flub?

[charlamanda]

Will males call if theres no females around and do they have to be a certain age before calling.... not looking forward to telling the hubby calling might happen. I didnt prepare for that

Me either and I was under the immpression that if you didn't cycle them, hibernate, and kept them at a stable temperature that they wouldn't. Oh boy, you have 1, but I have 13..not good!

The Gray Tree frogs call in my pool in the yard and it's deafening even inside. Right now I have all nine bunnies and all 13 frogs in the livingroom/dining room until the downstairs in finished, which could take a while. This could be really bad, since it will scare the rabbits, send the cats into a frenzy and start the dogs barking, simoulstaniously (sp?). For Pete's sake they are only 3 months old, so hopefully this will not happen anytime soon. I few chirps here and there I don't mind, but if they all break out in a chorus, they will be banished to the downstairs even if it's not finished!LOL

I am thinking this may be a case of edema, an infection that causes a frog to become bloated. Is the vocal sack alway inflated?

They actually look fine, other than the vocal sack filled with air. If I touch the sack, oye that sounds aweful, it will deflat, somewhat. There are several, I believe to be male, that are perching up at the top, with their sacks inflated. The questionable females are gathering under the males, boy this doesn't sound good either...sorry all, on the plants leaves just below them. All seem fine, are eating very well and since it has gotten warm out they have been bouncing around the tank. So far I have not heard any audible sounds, but I am only by the tank for a few hours at night watching tv! I will keep an eye on them and post a few more pics. Thanks for the info.

Uh oh last night Frodos "chin flub" as u call it lol was inflated.... hes turned away so i havent seen it today but yes last night it was much more noticable...

[charlamanda]

Thats interesting since they are very close in age. Has it been warm by you too? It has gotten fairly warm here and all the frogs have become much more active, more so than I have ever seen them!

[Rae]

Nope i dont think its warmer but I think the last two afternoons/ evenings ive heard him calling.... its short, fairly quiet, evenly spaced, lil high pitched bird noises and after he I hear the sound a few times it stops. I go to look at him and his "chin flub lol" is all puffed out.
