Jorja, how long hasnt your axie eaten for?
And how skinny is "real skinny"? (pic?)

Axies can go quite a while without eating. Up to a month ive read (post ages ago by Joan).

Love to help, but need more info darl.

they can go a fairly long time without food and will often just randomly go off food for a week or two, its realy scary but if your axie is losing weight i would be concerned. a pic would help and also how long it was since she last and and what. do you have gravel in the tank? have you fed mealworms or feeders?

she hasn't been eating for about a month now and is about a cd's length long and about 1.5 inches in the waist... but hopefully that will change soon because she is starting it eat... slowly and is start to put on a bit of weight...
Thanks guys
