When do frogs start croaking?

[John]

They only croak when they're mature and ready to breed. An adult male won't call unless it's in breeding mode either.

Damn, well that certainly make sexing them difficult.

so then what was I hearing from at least one of my froglets the other night? it sounded almost like a cricket, but I don't have any crickets and something was making a nature like noise? do they make any noises before they become mature?

ONLY male frogs croak.... they ONLY croak when they are adults and they croak in mating season, that is when spring starts coming

My Grey tree Frog has croaked everyday for over a year so I don't believe they only croak in the spring.

My Cope's started making a chattering noise around Dec 2011 (was tadpole June 2011), now does a full blown call once in awhile.
