Pacific Chorus Frog--Noise Level?

[Frog Mom]

Lesley,

Thanks for the input. That puts my mind at ease. I have so much fun watching the frogs every day. My family thinks I'm a little nuts. I was just worried that they would become so loud that everyone else would be irritated by them. Sounds like they will just make a reasonable level of noise from what you described. And in my house, with 4 kids, that should be just fine.

I have been reading everything I can about them on this site. It has been such a help to me over the last couple of months. It's so great to be able ask questions and get answers from people with experience, because even the people at our local pet store really have no clue about frogs.

I was able to breed about 200 tadpoles last year, I released most of them in my little pond and kept 12.....5 were males and 7 females. The males throat turned dark at about 6-7 months...and they started to croak around early April. When I separted the males I kept one and thats when he got really really loud....and trust me they are VERY loud. The 4 i released that night went crazy outside and croaked like maniacs for months until about a month ago it all got quiet for now...When I water the lawn at night and it's a cold night..i can sometims hear them croak a bit....they love the cold...go figure.

Yikes! Sounds loud. Fortunately, we have a long house, so maybe they will be hanging out at the far end from the bedrooms next year.

If you released them outside by now.....they may not muture this year until next year.....I fed my frogs alot so they matured fast and were croaking before they were a year old.... besdies they will look for a source of water.....like a puddle or non running water source to lay their eggs....do you have like a little pond in your yard?......and yes....man when they croak it's very very loud.
