How to tell if your African Dwarf Frog is Male or Female?

When you go out to buy your African Dwarf Frog you may want a male and a female so that you can breed with them later on.

How are you going to know which is female or male? They look the same.

Well, the male is slightly smaller than the female and is skinnier in the body.

The male has a small gland behind each armpit, which can be whitish or pinkish in color.

This looks like a little pimple and is called the ‘Post Auxiliary subdermal’gland.

The female African Dwarf Frog has a chubbier body than the male. They also have a small bump between their legs. This bump is called a ‘Cloaca’ and this is where eggs and waste are passed.
