Illness/Sickness: Is it possible for an axie to have an allergic reaction ?

[snowbutton]

My baby leucistic (about two inches) has been eating frozen bloodworms up to last week, when I started chopping up nightcrawlers and trying to feed him those. He ate two pieces and every piece I tried to give him after that, he spit up. Somebody told me to try washing them and making sure they contain no bile, but he still spit them up today.

I was worried I would run out of bloodworms soon (and I need to stop using them anyway) so I bought this axolotl pellet food off Amazon.

It came today and he ate several pieces, but I noticed these weird shapes in his belly. Are these normal ? I know he looks a bit skinny, its due to his pickiness lately. He was normal a few days ago.

I wouldn't use those pellets - the first ingredient is soy bean. Although they are advertised for axies I wouldn't say they are suitable.
Yes, it is possible that an axie can have an allergic reaction, but in this case I'd say the hard pellets are causing the bumps.
2 inches is a bit small to be giving nightcrawlers, you could try some smaller worms such as red wrigglers or dendros, but bloodworm will be sufficient at this age.

Axolotls are carnivores, any pellets you buy should have a fish ingredient at the top of the list. You can use them in conjunction with worms or bloodworms, but I would get a different one next time.
