Hi, my axolotl developed fungus during some extreme heat recently and he is currently living in the fridge having salt baths which are improving the fungus condition immensely. My question is this, he has been in the fridge for just on a week and while the fungus is getting better it is by no means gone, but he is also refusing food which he did for almost 2 weeks before he developed the fungus and I fridged him. Last night when I bathed him and changed the water he seemed more lethargic than he has been all eeeek and I am concerned he is starving to death. I understand lethargy is not unusual during grudging nor refusal to eat, but since he has not eaten in almost 3 weeks I am concerned. He is visibly thinner than he was, but he was a little greedy when healthy so may have had a little extra to fall back on. Since he still has some fungus in his gill area(most of the rest has gone now, just the cotton wool type stuff near the gills left), should I let him warm up a little to room temperature for a couple of days and try to get him to eat, or should I leave him where he is till the fungus is completely gone?
