Constipated questions

Sorry for the formatting ahead of time I'm on mobile.

Hello! This is my very first axolotl named Mochi. They are 4 months old and we just got them last week. They were fasted about 2 days before being shipped to us and didn't poop for about 4 days but yesterday they pooped twice, today once, and it seems like they still have more to come out as their butt started floating again like it did before they pooped last night. I'm pretty sure it's constipation as their belly was a bit full looking until they started pooping and they stopped eating yesterday before they pooped the first time. I was just wondering if this frequency was normal after constipation? We've had them tubbed since we got them as we haven't seen axolotl poop from juveniles before and wanted to make sure we knew what to look for before putting them in their tank so they are already tubbed with daily (sometimes twice daily) water changes. They aren't constantly floating and when they do they really don't seem to care in the slightest so I'm not all that concerned. I just wanted to know as it went from nothing to well frankly a ton of poop with no end in sight. 😅 Picture because they are just so cute!
