After feeding pellets and earth worms to my axies I thought I'd start farming river shrimp for a hobby and as live food. I put some in the tank and my other two axolotls ate them too and suffered from no issue. But jaws has developed irregular bumps on her belly and it's concerning me a great deal. I thought I may have constipated her and put it in the fridge. She's been in there 24 hours now and nothing has happened so far. Am I doing the right thing? I read that bloating is a sign of organ failure and it's worried the life out of me.
Please, if anyone had any contribution or input id be exceptionally grateful. Thank you In advance.

Hopefully she just over indulged in shrimps ( easily done) I would just keep a close eye on her for any other changes.
 
She looks otherwise well. I think the fridge is probably a good place for her - it should encourage her to poo. Probably, she's just been a very greedy little lotl... :D Keep a close eye on her, do her daily 100% water changes with fridge-temperature dechlorinated water while she's in there, and we're all hoping for the best.
