Please Help-Starving Axolotl

[onyx2011]

I rechecked the calendar, and it hasn't been 3 weeks, but two weeks since Tabi has eaten. Which is awful, but not as bad as I had thought. He won't eat. I'm 76% sure he has intestinal parasites of some kind?

He's 4.5-5 inches, I am not comfortable with force-feeding in the first place, and all past posts about said subject said small axolotls are not good subjects.

His breeder fed him bloodworms, and I've been feeding him small garden worms. He stopped eating, and is now in a small circular tub. I mention it's shape as he doesn't seem to notice walls, and just swims in one direction as if they don't exist.

One user who has been generously working with me and Tabi mailed us pellets, but Tabi isn't interested in those either.

Really hoping for a Christmas miracle here

I'm sorry to hear this! Can you post a picture?

Not eating is often a sign that the environmental conditions are substandard. What is the temp and your water change routine ?

60-66° is my room temperature, due to bad insulation, my personal preference, and the winter season. Tabi is in a tub of water that's changed every single day, so water parameters are not the issue
