weird behavior

I picked up some females yesterday to add to my breeding group and one of them keeps opening and closing her mouth. Its really weird, if I had to guess i would probably say shes got ri or something, but seeing as im new to the whole asf thing im kinda looking to the more experienced breeder. if needed I can post up a video to show what im talking about.

Yes post the video

YouTube - VID 00000 20090720 0248

so what ya think?

Feed it off immediately. It either has allergies or is sick.

If it has allergies that are that bad then you obviously don't want it to be passed down to another generation. And if it is sick then you could get your entire colony sick.

Did you contact the breeder? what did she say?

Thank you for the reply, unfourtuanetly it was purchased at a show and I didnt pick up the breeders card so im unable to contact him but it is currently being disposed of as I type this.

She very well could have been vocalizing in ultrasonic pitch which we cannot hear, but I highly doubt that. She looked very ill, gasping for breath.

yea I very seriously doubt she was vocalizing much, I felt bad for her but now its got me worrying that she might have transmitted it to the rest of the colony, none of them are showing the symptoms but I am going to be keeping a very close eye on them for the next couple of day. She was made short work of by one of my albino boys, she didn't even put up a fight.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.
