It is next to impossible to sex juveniles, just so you know, so if your frogs are still juvies, you’ll need to wait until they’ve grown.

Once they reach sexual maturity & near their adult size, females are very obviously wider through the middle with a distinctly pear like shape & are larger overall. They also have a distinct bump between the hind legs, as if a tail should be there but isn’t.

The males are smaller overall, with a fairly straight sided midsection [ think cucumber shaped rather than pear shaped if you like :-) ] and they have wee bumps in their armpits, which are breeding glands. The glands are a lighter colour, pinkish or whitish. The glands can be difficult to see and it’s not a good idea to try to handle the frogs to get a better look. It’s terribly stressful for them.
 
Hi , can you post a picture of them from the side and top?
