4 weeks not eating

[Sleepylotls95]

Hello, I am a new member to this forum. I have about 2 years experience with my male Gfp Melanoid albino axolotl. He is my absolute prize. We got him from a reptile expo (he was a surprise to me) anywho. He has not eaten in about 4 weeks. I haven't the slightest idea why. I have asked so many groups on FB and I'm not really getting much feedback. I have tried different foods such as:

Red wrigglers
Night crawlers
Blood worms and brine shrimp
Hikari carnivore sinking pellets
Worms in garlic technique to entice appetite and eating
Repashy grub pie
NOTHING worked. Just ONCE he sucked in a pellet and spat it out.

His water levels are ph 7.4
High range 7.6
Ammonia and nitrite are 0ppm
Nitrate is 10ppm
Temp 60°

He was on very fine sand for months but changed it to a loss carpet (been on it for a few days)

20 gallon low tank, he is the only one.

Someone told me to just treat for parasites with praziPro since it's just worth it at this point?

He doesn't seem to have lost weight by much?

At this point I'm contemplating a vet visit if I can find one around here and hopefully COVID wont make this complicated.

That is very curious. Adult axolotls can easily survive without food for four weeks, but I understand you'd like to solve this before it is too late.

Water parameters look good, and you've offered quite a variety of food. What did the axolotl use to eat, before he stopped?

Also, can you take a picture of the axolotl? Sometimes that really helps with figuring out a problem.

He was on night crawlers and I'd randomly give carnivore sinking pellets as a snack. I got the worms from Walmart.
