i recently got 2 and they're so cute but i dont know if they are male or female. im sure bogger [the brown one] is male because he is always getting on top on eagan [green one] and grabbing on and i read that when they do that its usually a male. other tells were that males have larger bumps and thicker arms but its almost impossible to tell outside of mating season. is there another way?

i also wanted to know the name of their call. not sure if there is a difference but some say its called their bark, chirp, croak or song. does it depend on which sound they're making? is there a specific name or meaning for each call?

[when i got them i never thought about them croaking but they do it a lot. sometimes its a squeak (which my friend perfectly described as the sound of someone rubbing their finger across wet glass)
and its a "woo woo" sound. sometimes they even sound like a small dog barking from a distance and can even sound like "arf" or woof" and their other call is something ive heard a million times while watching something in a forest but i always assumed it was a bird or insect. its kinda cool]
