So..... Do Female Toads Ever Make Noise????

[ToadilyNuts4Nature]

Yes! Apparently they do! Up until recently finding this article, I believed that my American Toad, Shima, was a male because whenever it would rollover onto it's back, or when another toad would jump on it, or when I would pick it up.... it would chirp! So... I thought it must be a male BUT... as Shima grew larger, much larger than the other toads, and the throat appeared to be less shaded... actually there is no more shading, I now believe that He is a SHE!! Have a gander at the article... It's pretty good, especially for beginner's! Read under "Friends of Farmers and Gardeners"

Oh man, thank you for this. My girl's almost two years old and just recently when I need to handle her, she's started making those little chirps as well. I was starting to wonder if I'd sexed her wrong and she was a boy after all.

You're very welcome! Glad the article proved useful to someone else!

My female North American toad when she gets upset she makes a popping sound with her nostrils and my male well he just chirps lots when you pick him up.
