Maybe, although it could just be searching for a new home/a mate/food, and it could just as easily have been disturbed while asleep by any number of things. Rabies is a possibility, but the above are FAR more likely. And don't believe you have to kill it to find out if it is rabid- you can just tranquilise it and a vet can test its' saliva to see if it is rabid or not, among other humane rabies tests. If it is frothing at the mouth THAT isn't a very likely sign of rabies either, it's most likely dehydration or distemper.
