They have no visible sexual organs, but I was wondering if they have certain colors or what to tell the difference, because I have 3 of them and one seems to be "hunching" the other 2 , (and this is the time year that they mate I found out)

Males generally have rougher backs and their forearms are thicker than the females. These minor differences make them almost identical except during the breeding season, when males have black horny nuptial pads on their fingers and forearms. One way of telling which frogs are male and which are female is to observe the behaviour of the frogs. Whenever a frog tries to jump on the back of another frog and use the arms to grasp it, it's definitely a male. If the male isn't rejected immediately, there is a good chance that the second frog is a female and that she is even prepared to breed.
If the frogs haven't yet reached sexual maturity, there's no easy way to make sure that you have got both males and females

"Generally, the female is larger. Her skin is rougher and has more bumps. She is silent and her throat sack is not dark in color."

This site will generalize between frogs and toads. Good question indeed! I think I might share this with my class!
