Female acting strange..

demoniendin Apr 23, 2005 12:08 PM

My female WTF has recently begun to get bloated in the ventral area of her body. The skin stretches out much more and everything. I belive its bloating from eggs which she is waiting ofr a male to fertilize, but I'm not sure. I've also noticed that she's become lethargic almost and refuses to eat or recognize food. I have been tryign to influence my male White's to call, but he suddenly refuses even though he often did before (musically inclined) he ususally did so when i was playing music, usually rock.

So do female whites get boated when they are ready to go through amplexus or is this another problem that i should take her to the vet for? Are tehre any good ways to induce calling in the male or amplexus other than making a rain chamber (i dont have the funds or material to do so....)? anyways, thanks for any help, its appreciated..

Can you hold your female up in front of a light and see what's inside her? If it looks like clear fluid, no shapes discernable in there, then I would suggest taking her to a vet right away.
