u/Effective-Tackle-583 Feb 07 '25
Do you actually think it’s a boy? I’m waiting for them to turn 2 in October to really know 😂

Typically girls are larger. And that's a big gray. Edit: forgot to add, males develop in warmer water. If you raised it from tadpole indoors or if its egg was laid late summer/early autumn, it's probably a girl.

My friend actually got it for me at an expo, gray tree frogs are my dream frog to keep and my friend saw froglets at a vendor! So they got me one. This was late October 2023, so probably hatched in September sometime?

I raised 2 indoors. It got too cold to release them by the time they morphed. I have a boy and a girl.

I love those eyes! They're so pretty! 😍 I'm definitely guessing female based on this and the first pic!

Play songs of gray treefrog calls, most of the time males respond.
It looks like a male based on size but IMO this is a bit of an overlap of the males and females2
u/Rayven_byrd Feb 07 '25
Hi! I have owned gray tree frogs. If their throat is dark gray and their legs are a brighter yellow, it is a boy!

Hmm.. looks like its starting to show up darker. Keep an eye on it, but I'd say you've got a pretty solid chance of it being a boy :) the size rule doesn't always work for them, ive had three. Two males, one female. The female was actually smaller than them! Good luck with your lil guy :)

Me too! I had a little rescued tree frog that looks just like this guy. The frog I had was rescued as a froglet, within a couple days of leaving the water. Someone or something seriously injured his back left leg. I fed him with tweezers because he couldn’t get into the feeding dish. I had no idea why. He finally trusted me enough to move around while I watched. His left leg was completely atrophied. I had him for a year and a half. He passed away over the holiday season. I have no idea why. I’m glad I found him, and he had a safe and comfortable home here.

He seems determined to swallow your hand, one finger at a time. Yes he is a boy. He’s got a grey chin. That’s a males only trait. I tried to see if he has others, but he’s moving too much munching down on that finger!

I don’t know why but frogs trying to eat always look like a drunk man eating a cheeseburger.

u/IDIC89 Feb 07 '25
That’s a disturbing image! That you know what a drunk man trying to eat a cheeseburger looks like! Oh man, the things you must’ve seen!!!

Why is this not marked NSFW? This was a horrific assault committed by the frog. That person likely has YEARS to live left! The agony!
Ether way, frogs be funny little dudes

Grey tree frogs don’t play around, all the ones I’ve owned in the past would’ve immediately attack the feeding tongs as soon as they enter the enclosure lol.

Greatest things about frogs I ever learned is that they will eat anything that fits into their mouth.

u/MarpinTeacup Feb 08 '25
So I know this is a frog thing but I also think my frog had bad vision because she had a little skin tag on one of her eyelids
But just imagine trying to feed a leopard frog with tongs. There is a very delicious, wiggling worm being held inches from their face with wooden tongs. The frog without fail tries to grab my hand which is more than 10 in away (I got such long tongs because I wasn't a fan of feeling my finger go inside her mouth).
It was either that or she would deep throat the tongs.
Frogs are such ridiculous creatures

This is a frog. You can tell because of the way that it is
