I need advice! I noticed last night that my chimera axolotl larva(about 1.5 inches) is bloated with either fluid or air. It is right side up and sitting fine, but has trouble righting itself if the water & it is moved.
It only ate one white worm last night, and then I proceeded to fridge it overnight. There doesn't seem to be any change today so far. Is fridging something that will help or hurt it in this case?
It's last normal meal was a bunch of frozen blood worms the night before last (very late feeding about 12 midnight). It was perfectly fine at that point. I had to work all day yesterday, and when i went to feed everybody last night again, I noticed the problem.
Before it had that large meal of blood worms, it was mostly feeding on white worms with the occasional bloodworm. Could it be that the volume of the blood worms it ate was just too much, too soon?
Should I try to get it to eat something now?
