Is she floating tail up???? how often do you feed her? What is her normal diet?? Is there anything in her tank that she couldve eaten that she shouldnt have??

No shes not floating, I attempt to feed her everyday because she wont eat, I vary from feeders - salmon - earthworms. Trying to see if she just dosnt like it, and no, nothing while shes been in my care, not sure about before i got her, as she lived on a completely different island.

She might not be hungry. She could be getting to the stage of only needing to be fed every couple of days. A full grown axie only needs feeding 2-3 times a week

ummmm. Ok. You could try and put her in the fridge (this will help her poop) but I think this is a last resort. Has she been on gravel(from the place you get her????)?
