Kip recently lost a leg (about a week ago?) (I think Alex mistook it for a worm) but that seems to be healing well, no fungus or anything.
I feed My axies a worm each every second day usually.
Anyway when I fed them yesterday, Alex took his worm but then spat it out. Kip ate his worm and then ate the one that Alex spat out (Alex had gone to the other side of the tank)
I watched them and Kip stopped looking like he was chewing/swallowing and started walking around, then went back to hide in his log.
About an hour or two later I walked past their tank and saw something in the tank, on closer inspection it was the worms, all kind of tied up, with sand mixed with them, one was only half a worm but the other was the whole worm.
It's only being once that Alex has refused his food and this is the first time Kip has vomitted (if that's what happened :S).
I moved them to a new tank the day before this happened, I used water from their old tank and kept the same ornaments etc. Keeping an eye on the parameters incase the cycle crashed (Their old filter broke and flooded the house). Could they just be stressed from the move?
I'm not too worried as they are still acting themselves otherwise, but I thought I'd ask here just incase, as I've never had an axie vomit before
