How often are baby axolotls supposed to go #2? I've had mine for about three weeks now and have never noticed him going to the bathroom but today he had a big, dark thing hanging from his butt. He is about 2 inches long and I have never noticed anything like this in his container before. I've been keeping him in a large tupperware container with daily 100% water changes but today I moved him to a 15 gallon tank, which has been cycled, with the filter off (I have a waterfall filter and worried it was too strong for him at this size). I decided to put him back in the tupperware container for feeding and over night so I could turn the filter back on in the tank. It looked like he was going #2 but I have never seen him do it before and I'm just worried that's not what it was and I'm stressing him out/doing something wrong. He has been eating white worms, if that helps at all. Sorry if I'm just being paranoid but my friends and I have all fallen in love with him and don't want to see anything bad happen to him; any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
