It's not necessarily in response to physical contact. I rarely handle him/her for cagecleaning and medication, but on the origial trip home I heard several minutes of agitated peeping, much like a baby bird, and ever since I gave the first dose of Panacur (nematode issues) I've often heard a few similar peeps when I'm in the same room as the cage at night, which I guess is suppposed to be "toads only" time. So I'd say it's a stress thing, but not a physical contact-based thing.
What's the deal with males sometimes becoming females? When that happens, I assume the vocal cords would remain functional, even if not actually used anynmore the same way. Are there are any telltale features that don't change to look for? The toes, size, build, and throat all indicate female.
