Hi guys!
I am after some reassurance.
I have my axolotl for 12 days and he hasn’t eaten since he arrived. I offered earthworms, pellets and frozen blood worms.
At first I thought it could be stress from the move, then fungus, but 2 days ago I noticed a lump on his side.
He was also pooing green then a brown slime and now not pooing at all for a few days. After a lot of reading, I put him on the fridge (6C) yesterday and he hasn’t done poos yet.
At the aquarium shop he was kept in a small aquarium with lots of other axies, with small sharp gravels as substrate
I think he swallowed the gravel. Is there anything else I could do? I found an exotic animals vet in Brisbane. But I can’t go yet with the current covid border restrictios where I live. (I live in Australia)
Has anyone gone through something similar with a happy ending?
The first photo below is when he first arrived and the second in the fridgng container yesterday.
Thank you.
