She's a he?

Dude looks like a lady. If you think you're upset over this think of how Dumper feels! At least he didn't have to find out on the Jerry Springer Show.

I have a female Gray Tree Frog who does talk to me occasionally. She'll chirp to me after i spray her and the cage down in the morning, and sometimes after eating or when she's asleep. It's nowhere near what a male will call, it's a little broken chirping lasting only a few seconds. Scared my roommate this morning

So I do think it's possible she is still a she. She isn't going to be as vocal as a male, but mine at least talks to me a few times a week.

Release or warning call perhaps? All of my froggies will occasionally let me know they do not like what is going on.

I'll be waiting for that "Dude get off me, I'm a guy!!" release call.

actually this isn't the first time I've heard sounds from Jade. Last week I heard what sounded like a slight purr sound and tonight we were startled by a loud quack type sound. I checked her/him/it and was on the glass... looked fine, not excited or anything.

Is there a way to check for a release call like you can with toads by touching certain areas of their backs? Would only males make a release call?

edit: I'm adding another call to the list... It's a one off call kind of like a bullfrog call but flatter with less harmonics. I'd have to say with the variety of calls, it's safe to assume Jade is a male. Maybe I have to call him Jake.

It rained today and now it's very humid out.

Hi Chris.
I can tell you for sure that my Female frogs (Bell Frogs) do purr like you say. Its usually when another frog is climbing over them. Its a little bit like a croak but more soft and quiet. They don't do it allot but ive seen and heard it a few times. I thought that she was telling her male partner "not tonight dear"

Jade looks great by the way, she's filled out beautifully. How are they both reacting to each other?

If it's a quack call, like Dumper, it's definitely a male.
