I dont know if anyone can help me out here, but I appreciate any insight. Most frog forums I've looked at arent very active...
Anyway, I bought a teeny ornate pacman frog almost 3 weeks ago. It was about the size of a quarter. And right now it's a little over 3 inches long, and almost that long across. Actually, it's a little disturbing how fast the frog has grown..
On a daily basis, it will easily consume 1-2 whole nightcrawlers, as well as a single freshly molted superworm, and 1-2 fish (smelts). I've dusted with calcium each meal, and also supplement with multivitamins. The 5 gallon tank is a toasty 82-86 degrees.
Anyway, I was wondering if the massive growth in such a short span of time could indicate that it's a female. My boyfriend has a male, and it took his about 8 months to reach 3 inches (adult size). I don't know the age, as I bought the frog from Petco, but I cant imagine that it was more than 2 months old.. I currently see no nuptial pads, nor have I heard it call. The head is also the same size as the body.
Is it still too early to tell? I really do hope it's a female (I've been calling it Tallulah). But I'm interested in any input there was to offer. Just curious.
Thanks!
