Prior to The Shattering, this whelpling was found from the Adolescent Whelps and Dreaming Whelps in Swamp of Sorrows. These creatures no longer exist.
As of Patch 4.0.3, the Tiny Emerald Whelpling drops from the Noxious Whelps found in Northern Feralas.

Once bred and raised by the green dragon Itharius, this unique breed of dragon has settled in the jungles of Feralas.
"Please, Ysera, I won't kill another Green Dragon ever again in my spacegoatly life if you give me one of your babies!"
Ysera really could have saved more of her flight earlier had she not let me suffer for 36 hours of farming for this guy.
Hah, now the whelps should be scared into dropping the emerald whelpling! According to my calculations, I should have a 32.33, repeating of course, percent chance of it dropping.
i killed over 600 noxious whelps on my main hoping to get it. i logged on to my boyfriends profile to help him level and it dropped after 3 kills. needless to say i was a little miffed. so now i'm mailing it to my profile
I just collected my Emerald Whelpling today after 1437 kills on the Noxious Whelps of Feralas. I have a few helpful notes for the hunters among you who are of lvl 90. Make a macro (/target noxious whelp, /cast arcane shot). Keybind the macro to a key. Now you can "one-key it" at a run along your kill path. It is more efficient and I found I got more drops if I killed quickly and then looted by re-running the kill path, rather than a kill one-loot one pattern.
I got mine within two minutes of starting to kill noxious whelplings-- I seem to have been rather lucky in that, going by these comments, and probably used up all of my WoW luck for the rest of forever.
Try an Emerald Whelpling (with Emerald Presence and Emerald Dream) plus Apocalypse to level any level pet against the Pandaren Air Spirit tamer. The Emerald Whelpling will easily solo the first two and allow apocalypse to kill the final pet.
As I moonfired one particular whelp, I /laugh at him and went to loot. As I did so, he killed one of his own. Then I saw a brilliant yellow light appear around him as when you learn a pattern. Then he summons a cute green whelp and flies away.
I am really surprised that this guy doesn't have a higher Battle Rating.
I got this pet ages ago, in Vanilla WoW. He was the first pet I leveled to 25 when I came back to the game after Battle Pets came out. He is an absolute Go To pet when fighting a Flying pet. With Emerald Bite, Moonfire, and Tranquility (211) he can withstand a ton of punishment while still dishing it out in return. He might not be a top All Star, but I think he is very under rated here.
Like a few people said... I can now draw a detailed topigraphical map of the lake in Northern Feralas from memory after circling it killing noxious whelps. I seem to have been a bit luckier than most, and got it on kill 609 (rarity count). I can't imagine the 2000+ some people report having had to kill.
I bought mine today on AH for 500 gold. Saw myself spending hours farming it, so I quickly bought it. A good deal, yes?
After over 2300 kills this week without a drop, I am posting here in the hopes it gives me luck tonight. (Rarity tells me that I haven't been extraordinarily unlucky as 10% of people won't see a drop in their first 2300 kills ..... )
Update #1: 3274 loots and still no luck .... now I am hoping a Sprite Darter Hatchling will drop first - is that too much to ask for?
Update#2: Finally dropped for me on loot #3360 :)
Rating from pve experience this pet is easily top 3 if not the best pet there is. It EASILY handles as many, if not more, trainers' pets than any rabbit does much less the Celestial Dragon (who I can see being better in a pvp setting but this is a pve perspective). If you don't have this pet you need to get it asap. Hopefully they are cheap on your server's ah to save you some farming time.
So far I'm about 10 hours into this grind, about 3,000 dead. . .and no whelping. And I got a dark whelping just lazily killing the searing whelps in dustwallow while trying to farm a rare Spawn of Onyxia. Oh RNG!
Didn't take long at all, not even an hour I'm sure. Took 125 kills according to Rarity. What a cute little guy. I love all the dragon pets.
After about 3 hours of farming it finally dropped. Don't forget to get the whelplings on both sides of the lake :)
