New Guy!! 1 Axolotl, having problems with his back legs!?

[jburns2422]

Hey all! I have 1 axolotl and he is having problems with his back legs he acts like they are paralized?? I have googled the **** outta this issue and havn't found anything yet! Any ideas?? Well I'm here to learn and listen and to have fun! See ya around:happy:

Are you able to post pictures or a video?

Axolotls often look like they were made then had legs stuck on afterwards so they don't quite know how to use them. A visual of what is going on would help people see if there is a problem or if it is just normal Axolotl wonkiness!

This isn't something that he's always done, he's always been very graceful and Happy and then within 2 days he went from axie to.....what he is now he acts like he can't use his back legs, keeps them stuffed parrallel to his body but when I touch them with the tweezers he responds to even the smallest touch?? He is currently fridged and has been for almost a month now, still eats (frozen brine) just tried bloodworms tonight and that other frozen shrimp (can't think of the name as of now) he eats, but I have to make it "wiggle" in front of him, (feels to me like he's on life support) I will keep on doing this and hopefully he pulls through but any and all advice is appreciated!! Attempting to post pics now. I've done a full work-up on the parameters and everything is within range I also have a pic.

If you act like your going to write a response, click on the second icon from the left if the picture is on your phone or the icon to the very left if you are about to take the picture.

You're. (not Your...I hate when I do that!)

Has he been in a smallish tub in the fridge? Maybe he's not used to using them if he's not had much space.

What was the original reason for fridging him?

A month is a long time to carry out fridge treatment.. Concerns me
