I have a neighbor who has a young Southern bell that used to go into a seizure type state for a few seconds when its desturbed out of hiding. Ive seen it happen and it really worried me, Its legs were stretched out like you said your frog did but it was also twitching. It had done this about 5 times in the first 2 months as a frog,but that was quite a few months ago and its doing fine now without seizures. Growing and eating well too.

How many Whistlers do you have? I also have Whistlers and I love them to bits.
Hi Ebony,
Thanks for the advice. My frog seemed to be doing well but then an hour ago I noticed he was lying with legs stretched out again. I picked it up and is still alive. Not eating - well not when I'm looking anyway. Very lethargic, I'm thinking it may die soon .
I have 2 Whistlers, my second pair now. I have found them difficult to care for. I'm not sure why as I provide them with a lovely, clean, safe environment with all they could need. This is the second one that has got sick for no apparent reason, I have only had this one for about 2 weeks - perhaps the pet store does not have healthy ones?
My Green and golden bell frogs are great (had them for over a year now) so I don't think it is anything I have done wrong.
Since you have Whistlers could you outline to me what they require? There is not much information out there that I can find about keeping them as pets.
Thanks
