not that easy for how common they are. you will need a rain chamber and at least a pair, more is better, and more males than females is also good. when they do breed they breed a lot and lay over a hundred eggs. it's easy to sex the frogs when they are adults, the males have a sac on their throut and will call. try turning on the vacuum cleaner and misting and if they are males they should call.

well that solves that. mine are both males when you take a shower they both start calling. they are in the room across from the bathroom and i always figured it's the rise in humidity. my sister has the imitators and they are loud for as small as they are.

lol, that makes sence. you will want to get another female, i would start off with just one and see how it goes. i have imis too and their call is so pleasant sounding, much nicer than the whites IMO. just curios, do both your whites have the same call? i also have 2 males and one's is pretty "wimpy", much higher than one would expect, and the other one's is louder and stronger. they both call the same amount and both are healthy so that isn't why. just thought that was kinda weird. i just always laugh when i hear them both call cause one's is so much more "manly."

they do have a different sound now that you mention it. i always thought it was just the size difference.

i dont think its size cause one is younger and weighs more and has the lesser of the two calls.
