Sweetysmum Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 eating and has been quite larthargic these past three days. He had a scratch on his tail end a few days ago and that was when he first started looking unwell. That has since healed up, but he still looks very unwell and it's very unusual for him not to eat. Does anyone have any suggestions. Has anyone experienced this with an axolotl before. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantedobe Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 One of our axies stopped eating for 2 months. No sign of disease. Is in an outside pond with 2 others who continued eating. We just kept offering food when we fed the others and 2 weeks ago he decided to eat. Is totally back to normal now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Is he slowing down as the temperature drops? My goldfish aren't too interested in food now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetysmum Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I tested his PH tonight, plus ammonia and nitrate and all tests were perfect, I thought that may have been the problem. Since my first post he seems a bit better and is holding his head up higher than he was before. Hearing your replies have been very encouraging.
