i have a few methods, here are my best 2

1) download a frog call from the net, my male sometimes talks to the comp when i play it.

2) turn on the hoover or similar piece of equipment as he also talks to these.

once calling see if the throat is inflating or not.

TADAH!!!!
I find the hoover works every time!

Also, females grow bigger than males. But, don't rely on that alone!

Great thread had this one bookmarked for a while, sorry to resurrect it but my 2 are just a little over 2 inches now and I hear calls from one of them every night. I've only seen one of them do it so I know that one is male. The other i'm not sure, I heard noises before that were constant and the one i thought was female was on the bottom on the tank and the male was hiding in the bushes sleepy and just waking up.


I took the male out just now to inspect it's thumbs and they are looking like the females on the pictures that are posted there are no brown marks at all. Also I took macro pictures of the other ones thumbs and there's no brown markings on it either.

The brown marks aren't there all the time, they disappear right after they shed for example. And you can rub it off by mistake as well (I've done that lol) so it takes a short while for them to 'grow' back in. So keep checking!

If they are calling like 'wok wok wok wok wok wok' (many times) then you can be sure it's a male. Females don't call like that, they just go 'braaak braaak' a couple of times, on occasion. It's raspy and un-musical and not nearly as long as a male's call

The tanks lights went off and a few minutes later I heard a really loud bbRAAAWK noise, raspy and off key lol so I guess that was Chips and she is female like I guessed all along!
I saw Fish sat on the floor of the tank and i turned on my tower fan near the tank and he started croaking with his throat inflated about 6 times. So he is a male like I guessed all along! How lucky to have picked 1 of each when they were little babies!

Edit: I just played some croaking videos on youtube and turned up the speakers and i saw fish croaking back on the leaves at the top of the tank, while chips was croaking back but only once at a time and crawling around the side of the glass like crazy. I took a closer look and saw the white spots on their face and realised it was CHIPS on the leaves croaking and fish was the one crawling around! Ugh so confused! I'm sure i've seen them both do it now so I guess I have 2 males!
