Hi Im Ray. So I've gotten my first axolotl 3-4..maybe 5 months ago and I've had very little problems till about a week ago. My Axo Nubi has been keep his back legs up as if hes pooping but this clear/cloudy stuff comes out. Like chucks. Ive tried looking around for people with the same problem. I thought he was just constipated so I frigded him. Ive just put back into his tank (20 gallon long, sand) now we wont eat ,its been a week and half now and Ive tried pellets ((aquatic newt food zoo med) worms (red wigglers, night crawls) his tank is usually 66°F hes about 5 inches long. He shows no sign of stress and hes active. I do weekly water changes (did one today) he does have a filter. Im really worried.
It seems like his problem could possibly be caused by parasites. I would recommend taking your axie to the vet and while he is there, see if they can force feed him since axolotls normaly can live two weeks without food. If you can't get him to the vet before the two week mark I can post a force feeding guide for you.
