      Common frogs are about 3 years old brofre they start mating so I guess that is their age of puberty!

      I am really not sure frogs enter what we would call puberty do they?

      Maybe it is when their voices start to get a bit more croaky…..

      well here is the website i used
      http://allaboutfrogs.org/weird/general/cycle.html
      If we take a frog being an adult
      puberty is when a child starts developing into an adult
      I would say 6-9 weeks as this is when legs start appaearing and in a frog these are uniquely an adult feature

      nice question though
