Default frogs too small?

I have 3 leucomelas two female and one male. The male calls all day long and the females i just got from my dad who says they are 15 or 16 months old. The female are on the small side for that age because i dont think my dad feed them as much as he should of. Can the still breed? i havent seen any eggs yet. But i have been feeding them a lot since i got them so will they now grow or does most of the growing have to take place in the first year? I'm hoping to get them to breed.

I'd just feed them and watch the show and enjoy observing them for now. What's the hurry about breeding them? Just keeping and watching them yourself, is more experience than you can ever get from anyone else.

This always reminds me of a movie I saw in the early 70's, probably taken from Kurt Von Gute, or one of the hippy writers of my latter days of youth. In any event, although I can't remember the source, some alien Vesuvians captured a couple of humans and put them in a habitat that they'd decorated from a Sears furniture store. These two strangers to each other were suddenly in a confined habitat with all of the proper furniture, as the Vesuvians who were observing them understood it. While they were getting aquainted with their strange experience, the Vesuvians kept yelling down upon them: "Are you BREEDING YET?
