Anxious Axie Mom
New member
Hello community,
I’m really new to being an axie mom and I figured I could ask a few questions regarding Hongo. He’s a juvenile wild type ( about 3 1/2 inches long )
1. how often should he be pooping ? I’ve noticed the past few days he poops 3-4 times a day maybe even more. But he usually poops while he’s eating (twice a day 12 hours apart) and then sometimes while I’m away at work I come home and find a poop, or when I wake up I find a poop (so 4)
2. at first when I got him his poops were more on the dark brownish side but lately his poops have gotten bigger and they became a little more reddish? I feed him the frozen krill, and I read that it could be what’s causing it. He doesn’t like blood worms.
3. recently today I also noticed that he has these two odd bumps on his left side that come and go. I have never seen them before. I have seen the one bump near his butt that enlarged when he’s about to poop on his right side but never the two bumps on his left. My partner thinks that it may be him digesting his food. What do you guys think ? I’ll attach photos soon!
