I don't really understand the meaning of when someone says something like they got 0.0.4 frogs or 2.2 or what ever the number is. Can someone explain this counting system for me please?

It's a way of writing sex ratios

Male:female:unknown

So 1:1:6

1 male, 1 female and 6 unknown (usually young animals)

Ok cool so I have 1.2.1 White's 1 male 2 female and 1 that I suspect is male but I only really think I seen him call once and never again since so I dunno. Or I could just assume he's male and write 2.2?

You could assume but we both know what that does Laughing

Personally I don't like to label until I am sure Smile
