Axie cannot swallow food

[Luckylou524]

Hi, I’m new here. I hope you can give me some advice. My little has not eaten for almost 2 weeks, I’ve tried everything. He goes for the food but cannot seem to swallow. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

How do you mean? He tries to eat but ends up spitting it out or he pukes it back up later

I mean what types of food have you offered?

Apologies I misread your first message. I’ve tried bloodworm, pellets, salmon, dendrobena worm. It seems he cannot keep food down.

hmm, ok. personally I would give nightcrawlers a try and maybe try soaking some in garlic, nightcrawlers are the only real thing I had any luck with when one of mine was refusing, although it is odd that he's going for it but not eating it. If still nothing than I would go to an exotic vet. is there anything that could be causing impaction or anything? any gravel, small stones or ornaments or anything?
