Strange axy poo??????

indicakush · Oct 15, 2008

Hi all,
I am a new owner to a lovely axolotl named Xavier, tonight when i was going to bed i went to check he was ok, I then noticed he has done an enormous long brown poo

.... I have only seen two other poo's of his which looked like a small brown football (had him 3 weeks now) .
So i am unsure if he was constipated and has now relieved himself or if this is something more drastic.
My tank is currently cycling with him in it, i know this isn't the best conditions but it's all i could do.
Water temp is cold.
He is eating small chunks of meat, beefheart and whitebait cut up...
Otherwise he looks healthy and happy.....

If anyone could give me any insight i'd be very grateful..

Kind regards

I'm not an expert, but maybe he just have eaten too much...
Keep watching him.

Please dont worry about long brown poo our axies poo varies in length but is always long and brown or black. I only ever worry if it is very loose and breaks up as soon they have done it.
Al our axolotls are healthy, happy and enjoy life so i really advise you not to stress to much

I think he will be ok. My axies do very large, hard poos sometimes. I think that it is because I have feed them too much or something like that...

Thanks everyone!

I feel better now, I guess it was just a shock to see something so big come from something so small

What has it eaten in the past week or two? If it ate bloodworms, then this color could be from the food, though it may suggest incomplete digestion.

i only give my axolotls rainworms but ill keep an eye on them

they dont look to well at the moment so im gonna get them out of the aquarium and put them in a smaller tank with fresh water and clean the big aquarium, i dont know if they have fungus

i cant really see, i do see some white colour on them but i will post some pictures as soon as i can make photo's, also theyre gills get smaller

and 1 cant stear anymore so she's not going straith but keeps circling around also upsidedown..
