Okay, as I've posted before... My smaller axolotl, Slender, was moved to his "rehab" 10gal to be separated from his sibling because he wasn't growing.
In this time, he has managed to PUKE up every earthworm bit that I've fed him.
Literally.
Ate it, then spit it back up, then refusing to eat, not even with a new worm bit.
So, this leads me to believe...
A) He's dying a slow horrible death,
or
B) He REALLY hates worms.
Okay, so with that being said, I went out and got more bloodworms.
I didn't want to, because they don't provide the nutrition he needs, but I couldn't starve him...
He readily gulps them down, but if he eats to much he will puke everything back up.
So there goes another problem, but I've learned to manage, and he does keep them down...
BUT the real problem.
He still has not grown, if anything he has gotten much skinnier.
AND, he has lost his coloring? I literally don't know what is happening and I'm so sad for him.
Anyone at all who can help me, or give suggestions... Anything at all if you've ever seen anything like this...
Thank you all again.
