Grimace Did it! He took a massive poo!

[rheann]

Well, Grimace has been eating well, but didn't poo until today! It was massive! It looked like a brown egg but it wasn't solid, none of it was, but at least he's pooing! And I'm happy

I think I'm going to name my white Axolotl Nubbles, because of his nubby arm, it was the first thing I noticed when I got him, so I think the name fits. Soon Grimace will be going into the tank with Mr. Nibbles my wild type Axolotl. The white one will be staying in the icecream bucket with water changes until his arm grows back a lot more. His toes on his back leg have already grown back, they're still growing, and Grimace's forth toe on his leg hasn't grown yet, so he has one foot with four toes, and one foot with 3 toes and it isn't damaged. He's unique

I am glad Grimace is on the road to regularity

With my 3 new axolotls I have noticed that the white one seems to be more sensitive to food changes. When ever I offer them something new the white one either binds up for 4 days or has very messy poo. It does seem to get over it after it has eaten the "new" food several times. So now I only offer it tiny bites of something new then give it a worm or pellets to finish off its meal and that seems to be helping.

The other two do not seem to be bothered by new foods so far.

Thanks Cynthia

Maybe this what was bothingering my Axololt, because a stone never passed. Now he is eating his worms and pellets just fine

The white one will be picky about the pellets, but he will eat the earthworms no problem. I'm just so relieved Grimace is doing better
