    (for the record I am just guessing that this frog is female, I don't know for sure)
    How big is she snout to vent? That is usually a pretty good indicator, although I have one female that is the same size as my male. Any dark markings on the throat?

    Could be a young female or a male then. With females, the throat is nice and white. With a mature male, the throats get darker. I will try to get some pictures to show you later.

    Update: froggy is doing well!! Added some more "foliage", and just today I found a better tank by the dumpster outside our apartment!! Same length and width as the 29 gallon, but considerably taller!! Just have to collect some bigger sticks/branches to take advantage of the taller tank...

    Congrats, i hope she does ok. i have some baby Grays, and they are so darn cute.

    Amy- just a side question- do you feed your grays any mealworms, ever? i am not sure if this is a food they would naturally eat? or if the mealworms are not good for them . mine are babies and altho i found some very small mealworms, i still worry. your frogs are adults, so i thought i would ask.

    I did on very rare occasions but would not recommend it. It was nice to have something in the fridge if I couldn't get to the store get crickets for some reason or another, usually in winter. I am lucky that we have a store right in town that sells crickets now. Makes my life a lot easier and haven't bought mealworms since. I have been keeping crickets on hand at all times now anyway for the red eyes. Before I had them, I only bought as-needed because I hate keeping crickets in the house.
