Axolotl Green Stool

[TrlyAxlt]

So I recently got a Copper melanoid axolotl thats around 3 in, but it didn't poop for the first days then just today, it poop out a dark green stool. Can anyone help me? (It is eating the food fine)

I’m still learning myself but I got two coppers about same size a few months ago and they did not eat at first. New habitat I think. After a few days they came around and now both of mine come up to the glass when they see me come in. I use a Turkey blaster with black worms and the love them. Hope this helps

Then I suggest you test your water again and also the temperature. My guys seem to like 60-64 degrees.
Good luck

Are there any plants or other green material that it may have eaten? That could explain the green and possibly indicate an impaction. I would suggest lowering the temperature (gradually) to encourage pooping as well as slow down the metabolism until the problem can be solved. If this doesn't work, it would be time to take it to a vet for x-rays

Thanks for replying, we have fake plants since the axolotl loves to rest on them. But the axolotl seems to be constipated and only pooped the green one. I have been feeding it pellets which it loved, but now its refusing everything

Green poop usually means round worms from my experience. You'll need to treat with fenbendazole since prazi doesn't treat them.

Ill keep that in mind, but now its eating some blackworms and reoccurring brown debris has been occurring even though I don't feed it pellets anymore. I think it is poop?
