hello, does anyone here have a recording of a horned frog's calling? can anyone please post a link or upload one. my frog has not croaked yet and i still don't know if it's a boy or girl. maybe playing the recording would entice it to croak as well. hope someone can help me out! thanks

how long have you had it for? if you had it for a long time, and it hasn't croak, my guess is that it's a girl

i've had it for around 4 months but it's already big. it's around 4.5 inches in diameter. it made a sound once when i was playing with it when it was new so i assumed it was a boy but it hasn't croaked yet since. also the underside of its mouth has dark patches so i'm guessing he's a boy

it sounds like a chirp, but pretty loud. mine calls about once a week for awile, and he's about 4 months old.

can you record it krowleey please and post a link here? i've read that hearing other males croak encourage them to croak themselves. i hope you or anyone for that matter help me out.. thanks!

Hey there,

I have an albino pacman frog I purchased at a local Petsmart. Right now he is about 8 months old or so (I bought him last August, and he was about as big as a silver dollar than. Now he's bigger than my palm). I dont claim to be an expert at frogs or herpatology by any means, but I will give you an account from my own perspective.

I call this little killer, my pet Pacman AH Frog "Grob*" ,a he because, although his throat is blank and white, he croaks a lot. On some nights, when I have the temperature lower (around 69F to 75F) he either doesn't 'croak' (or as I say to my friends, chirp), or he only croaks twice or thrice in a row.

As he has matured, and when I keep the temperature up, he chirps a lot more. Usually about 3-6 or more times in a row with 2 to 3 second intervals between each 'chirp'.

The sound can be described as the following. I heard it described online as a cow mooing, only shorter. It does sound like a high pitched cow moo cut off really fast. I also likened it to the sound of a duck honking, as I ocassionally hear them do with each flap as they fly overhead here in MN for migrations every fall and spring.

Unfortunatley, I have no access to recording or FTP equipment, so I cannot record it for you.

However, in a very-soon-to-come-post by me, I will discuss the signifigance and possible fufilling of such pacman frog calls.

*Grob I allowed my best friend Emily to name my pet albino horned frog this soon after purchase. She chose this name based on one of her online comic characters with a similar figure and disposition (as the average ornate horned frog)... See her comic here
