This is my axolotl Oro! I’ve had him/her a couple weeks now and they’re currently staying in a tub until my tank finishes up it’s cycle. Feeding blood worms twice a day (as many as he/she can eat) and changing the water after each feeding as well. Currently waiting on pellets in the mail from Lotl axolotl.com (after much research into finding a more nutritious option than bloodworms with minimal risk).
Recently I’ve noticed they’re stomach is quite lumpy! At the time of the first 2 pics, they had just been fed (hence the dirty tub) and had also taken a poo earlier in the day. Is this lumpiness normal? Should I be worried? They are eating very well!
also - his/her gills have been slightly curled since attempting to fly yesterday when they launched themselves out of the tub. (Thankfully I was right there and they landed in the bowl I use for water changing!) there’s now a lid on the container (just sitting on top with a gap exposed) lol.
Thanks in advance!
