about how big do they have to be before you can determain teh sex of teh frogs?

i know claling woudl set tehm appart but i havent heard any thign yet. i intially got 7 frogs..lost and possibly another...i have only o[bleep]ed 5 lately and with my tank being so big and lush...possible it passed and i dont know...which i sure hope not...but it could just be taht miss it each time...

but i was thinking i was sure to get at leats one male out of teh 7...but i guess its possible that the 1 or 2 males are teh frogs that passed......

oh and one more thing...today iw as watching one frog and when it woudl jump around i noticed that one of its toes twitched when it stopped, looked around then stopped twitching...nervous habbit or possible trouble? eats fine and is fine other wise..

thanks

i have no idea how to sex them, but if u find out will you please tell me my leuc does the same thing with his feet, i have an aratus in with it too and they both do it. i think it has something to do with the temp. being too high, so i'm not turning on their lights as much anymore. other than that they both seem very healthy.

Toe twitching is common and characteristic of terresterial dendros. Female Leucs are sizeably larger than males and have a different body profile.

oh, thanks. i have two darts in there and they've been in there for about two months, do you think establishing their territories will be a problem? thanks again. heres their tank.

Leucs don't usually have territorial problems like some other darts. If it's just a pair they'll likely be fine.

ok, thanks for all your help!
