It wasn't fear. It was a seizure.

a seizure? are you sure? now im very interested.

[GrifTheGreat]

It happens. Animals have seizures too. There is always a possibility that startling the frog triggered the seizure. There isn't anyway to know what caused it. Whether it be the frog being startled or an underlying issue. Most that I've seen are disease or illness related.

Keep an eye on the frog. If it happens again you may want to have a fecal exam done or just take the frog to the Vet to be examined.

They rarely go into a state of catatonia when scared.

I don't like anything where someone says they close their eyes for an extended period or stretch out the back legs. Anything that would make them less able to see and get away from a predator is probably not something they are choosing to do.
