Yes the light brown mucus like material could be poo. The intestines still constantly shed cells so even an inappetant axie would always have something to pass out.
if the axie looks healthy otherwise, it is ok to transfer it back to your main tank if you can keep the tank cool. The higher temperature would stimulate appetite.
There may not be gravel impaction, so i would not be specially looking out for passed out gravel. Instead i would be focussed on if the axie is healing/regenerating well.
Did you try live blackworms or just frozen bloodworms. I find that the vast majority of axies really love live blackworms and it should be able to tempt most axies into eating some.
This story is getting worse and worse...I was having a look at him when taking out of the fridge, and to my horror noticed that the last digit on each foot seems to have disintegrated into a fluff, he also has some fluff coming from the end of his gills...bacterial?...fungal?....what am I going to do now??? How can this have happened in the fridge? His water is changed daily and there are only live bloodworms in with him.
