Glad to hear it wasn't traumatic. Usually the hardest part is to get them to start eating. Once they know what food is, they keep eating. Hopefully this works for you!

glad to hear it went so well It sounds like he knew you were helping him. I wonder why he wouldn't eat in the first place Let us know how it goes

Thanks Kaysie. That's what I'm hoping.

Thank you Siona. I think he really did know I was helping. I'm not really sure why he wasn't eating.. I was actually hoping somebody could tell me.

I'm not sure if I should say he is getting worse, or improving.
So last night I force-feed (lets call it hand-feeding, sounds a bit nicer), and he squirmed, oh did he squirm! Didn't want anything to do with me, and then regurgitated his food! *Sigh*.
He is a lot more lively, and that's good. Still doesn't want to eat anything on his own. I had a dream last night he was eating worms fine, was nice and plump, got up.. (I really thought it was real) only to be disappointed.

HE ATE A WORM!!!!

He was doing some funny wriggly thing, even sticking his head out of the water eek: ) so I put in a worm and I've been told he was chewing.. and it is GONE!!!
I'M SO HAPPPPPYYYYY!!!!!

Thanks Axolotl Friend.
Thank you to everyone, you have all been very helpful and encouraging!

He ate TWO WORMS and a PELLET!
To be honest, I didn't feed him for the last two days, so when he saw the worm I think he nibbled at it because he was hungry.. then realized how great they are!

How are things going with Aristotel right now?
He looks super in the pictures, big smiley face!
I think he's glad to have you as his owner!

 

[The Banana]

He is going HEAPS better!
I'll try to take a photo of his leg, but he rotates so I can't see it, silly thing. No bone visible, just looks like a minor scratch now. If axies could scab, I'll say it has scabbed.

Thank you for the kind comment Alioth!
