Hi all,
Today I thought I had better look for one of my two Whistlers (Litoria ewingii) for I had not seen it as much as the other. I found it alive under some moss, it hopped when I nudged it, but then lay with it's back legs stretched out and did not want to use them. I put it in some water wondering if perhaps it was dehydrated, and it did not try to move. I removed it out of the water and it sat on my finger, still with it's back legs out. After a minute or two it pulled them in. I have put it in quarantine and it appeared ok. After a few hours it still has not moved far from the spot I placed it down and has just started what seems to be gasping - opening it's mouth wide. He has no real interest in eating the fruitflies around him. I'm very worried. There are no abrasions or discolourations on the skin... My other Whistler is perfectly fine missioning around their terrarium. Perhaps he got a bit crushed but I would expect to see some abrasion or deformity. Oh he is a little darker in colour. He is about 8 weeks old - very small!
Anyone have any idea as what could be/cause the problem?
Thanks
