I bought an axolotl (salamander) about 3 months back. He was a happy healthy plump little thing... I fed him worms and feeder fish and stuff. He was going well until about three weeks ago. He stopped eating. I tried everything but no matter what he wouldn't eat. The vet said one of the feeder fish probably was carrying a parasite and it was inside my axie eating away his insides. So anyway he has been getting skinnier and skinnier, weaker and weaker. I found him on his back a few times but he wasn't dead.... I've almost been waiting for him to die... So today he hardly moved and I found him on his back so I took him out of the tank and put him in a container and put him in the fridge - it didn't help as he was still upside down. So I decided I should put him out of his misery. I didn't know whether I should hit him on the head with a rock or put him in a boiling water so in the end I picked boiling water (you have to understand I don't like hurting even an ant!) -

Obviously the boiling water thing doesn't work with axolotls....
I don't think I can get an axie again. I'm too scared
So sad. I wish you all the best with your axies. They all look so beautiful and healthy.
